Orthodox Jewish Newspaper Hamodia Interviews Justice Antoninn Scalia

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia spoke with the Orthodox Jewish newspaper Hamodia about the Court's jurisprudence and the role of religion in American life. Scalia rightly explained concerning Establishment Clause issues that "my court has a series of opinions that say that the Constitution requires neutrality on the part of government, not just between denominations...but neutrality between religion and non-religion. I do not believe that. That is not the American tradition." He also said that "I am not sure how Orthodox Jews feel about the Establishment Clause, but I assume they do not like driving G-d out of public life."
