When speaking to students at the University of Tennessee College of Law (UTCL) annual Rose Lecture, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia said that Americans “should revolt” if income taxes become too high.
Scalia pointed out that while the federal government has the right to tax the citizens, “if it reaches a certain point perhaps you should revolt.”
The Supreme Court Justice explained to the students: “You’re entitled to criticize the government, and you can use words, you can use symbols, you can use telegraph, you can use Morse code, you can burn a flag.”
Scalia asserted that he adheres to originalism and he believes that “the Constitution is not a living organism for Pete’s sake. It’s a law. It means what it meant when it was adopted.”
Scalia recently told the National Press Club (NPC) at a joint appearance with fellow Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, that “the Framers would have been appalled” by the 1964 ruling of the New York Times v. Sullivan because it “was revising the Constitution.”
