Paul Cassell: Lessons on legislating from Justice Scalia and Dr. Seuss

There’s little fairness in asking the people to honor a bill’s enacted text when the Legislature holds a residual “intent” trump card.

FILE - In this Feb. 21, 2006 file photo, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia gives the keynote speech on the debate over the role that international and foreign law should play in American judicial decision-making, during a daylong symposium at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington. Dow Chemical says it will pay $835 million to settle a long-standing class action lawsuit, after the death of Scalia decreased its chances of prevailing at the Supreme Court. The company was found liable in 2013 by a Kansas jury for conspiring to fix prices for polyurethane, an industrial chemical. Dow had petitioned the Supreme Court to reconsider the judgment.
