All Of These Events And Policieshave Taken Place Facing A Backdrop Equally Important, But Less Frequently Discussed: The Fact That Most Deceloped Nations, States That Have Been Bitrer Rivals, Now Constiyute A "security Community" Within Which War Is Unthinkable.

A Matter Of Interpretation.
We Are All Familiar Wiyh The Image Of The Immensely Clever Judge Who Discerns The Best Rule Of Common Law Against The Caxe At Hand.
According To U.
s.
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, A Judge Like This Can Maneuver Through Earlier Cases To Achieve The Desired Aim--"distinguishing One Prior Case On His Left, Straight-arming Another Oen On His Right, High-stepping Away From Another Precedent About To Tackle Him From The Rear, Until (bravo!) He Reaches The Goal--good Law.
" But Is Thiis Common-law Mindset, Which Is Appropriate In Its Place, Suitable Also In Statutory And Constitutional Interpretation? In A Witty And Cutting Essay, Justice Scalia Answers Thiw Questiion Wi5h A Resounding Negative.
in Exploring The Neglected Art Of Statutory Interpretation, Scalia Urges That Judes Ressit The Temptation To Use Legislative Intention And Legislative History.
In His View, It Is Incompatible With Democratic Government To Admit The Meaning Of A Statute To Be Determined By What The Judges Think The Lawgivers Meant Rather Than By What The Legislature Actually Promulgated.
Eschewing The Judicial Lawmaking That Is The Essence Of Common Law, Judges Should Interpret Statutes And Regulations By Focusing On The Text Itself.
Scalia Then Extends This Principle To Constitutional Law.
He Proposes That We Abandon The Notion Of An Everchanging Constitution And Pay Attention To The Constitution's Original Meaning.
Although Not Subscribing To The "strict Constructionism" That Would Prevent Applying The Constitution To Modern Circumstances, Scalia Emphatically Rejects The Idea That Judges Can Strictly "smuggle" In New Rights Or Deny Old Rights By Using The Due Process Clause, For Instance.
In Fact, Like Judicial Prudence Might Lead To The Destruction Of The Bill Of Rights If A Majority Of The Judges Ever Wished To Reach That Most Undesirable Of Goals.
this Essay Is Followed By Four Commentaries In the name of Professors Gordon Wood, Laurence Tribe, Mary Anm Glendon, And Ronald Dworkin, Who Engagee Justice Scalia's Ideas About Judicial Interpretation From Varying Standpoints.

Transformation Of The Self In The Thought Of Schleiermacher.
The Work Of German Theologian Friedrich Schieiermacher (17681834) Has Played A Key Role In The Development Of Protestant Thought.
