Oh, Snap!

Justice Scalia, though analyzing a current issue, uncharacteristically overlooked the experience of our Founding Fathers.

U.S. v. Bagdasarian

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 09-50529

[Oh, Snap!] [Reinhardt] [scalia] [first amendment] [constitutional law] [freedom of speech] [law]

I can understand why the majority does not place much emphasis on this point. Some members of the majority have ridiculed the practice of relying on subsequent statements by legislators to demonstrate an earlier Congress’s intent in enacting a statute. See, e.g., Sullivan v. Finkelstein, 496 U. S. 617, 631–632 (1990) (SCALIA, J., concurring in part); United States v. Hayes, 555 U. S. 415, 434–435 (2009) (ROBERTS, C. J., dissenting).

…

So the majority has no evidence—zero, none—that the objective of the [Arizona Citizens Clean Elections] Act is anything other than the interest that the State asserts, the Act proclaims, and the history of public financing supports: fighting corruption.

Arizona Free Enterprise Club’s Freedom PAC v. Bennett

No. 10–238.  Argued March 28, 2011—Decided June 27, 2011

Kagan for the dissent.
