Roger Williams law students to get lesson from Scalia

BRISTOL -- Students at Roger Williams University School of Law will get a lesson from an expert –– and controversial figure –– in their field.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin G. Scalia will spend Monday at the school to meet with faculty, alumni, members of the state bar and judiciary and students, the university said today.

In addition to the meet-and-greets, Scalia will teach a Constitutional law class and take part in a Q&A with 175 students who won a lottery drawing.

Scalia’s visit comes after both Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. visited to honor the 100th anniversary of Providence's federal courthouse, and just ahead of a scheduled visit from Associate Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.

Notice folks, how the liberal Projo refers to the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court as a "Controversial Figure." He's controversial in their eyes because he's a Strict Constructionist who doesn't believe in making law from the bench, as that's the job of the legislature. Liberals love judges like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, formerly of the ACLU, who create laws out of whole cloth. When the Projo refers to her ilk as "Controversial," the sun will stop setting, and monkeys will fly out of my body's lowest orifice.
