[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Antonin Scalia ? With “Scalia Speaks: Reflections on Law  Faith  and Life Well Lived ” Christopher J. Scalia and Edward Whelan have given us a treasure that captures Justice Antonin Scalia’s brilliance  wit  faith  humility and wide range of knowledge. When I read this collection of his speeches  edited by the justice’s son and one of his law clerks  I feel like  Scalia  is in the room with me. Taken together  the speeches are a book-length argument for constitutional originalism and for  Scalia ’s understanding of the role of judges in the United States. Anyone who wants to understand Scalia as a person and as a judicial philosopher should start by reading this book.
[ Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia  dies at 79]
 Scalia   in my view  is the best justice who has ever served on the Supreme Court in its 227-year history.  He  and Justice Joseph Story are the only two justices to have published books on constitutional and statutory interpretation.  Scalia  articulated a clear philosophy of a judge’s role  to which  he  always adhered.  He  was one of the two best writers ever to serve on the court and was equal on this score to Justice Robert Jackson  known for  his  fine literary style. No other justice traveled so much and spoke to so many audiences in the United States and abroad. Finally   he  was to originalism what Saint Paul was to Christianity — a tireless and widely traveled evangelist of the gospel. Understanding Scalia is thus imperative for all law students  lawyers and educated lay people. Because the book is a collection of speeches  many of which were given to lay people  it is very readable  understandable and fun for most age groups.
“ Scalia  Speaks ” by Antonin Scalia  Edited by Christopher Scalia (Crown Forum)
Addressing the difference between American and European values   Scalia  notes that “the United States was settled primarily by people seeking  in one way or another  refuge from the ways of Europe. The men who founded our Republic did not aspire to emulating Europeans at all — to the contrary  the project of drafting the American Constitution was largely about ensuring that the American people would never languish under the yoke of a European-style government.”
This is a critically important point that many fail to appreciate. The legal academics and public intellectuals who love European socialism overlook the fact that the United States  under its unique Constitution  is the third-most-populous country in the world  covering the fourth-largest territory  and has by far the highest gross domestic product per capita of any of the Group of 20 nations  a strength that allows us to do more to help the poor around the world while offering military defense to a range of countries. Few people choose to move from the United States to other countries  but millions of people want to live here.  Scalia  appreciated that the reason for this is that the U.S. Constitution is an engine of power and economic growth that sustains “life  liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
As an excellent writer   Scalia  offers advice on the craft. “Time and sweat ”  he  says  are the keys to good writing  and a well-written document emerges only after many drafts. “I think there is writing genius ” he  says  just as there is musical genius  “which consists primarily  I think  of the ability to place oneself in the shoes of one’s audience; to assume only what they assume; to anticipate what they anticipate  to explain what they need explained  to think what they must be thinking; to feel what they must be feeling.”
 Scalia  regrets that most American college and law students never read the Federalist Papers and therefore do not understand our Constitution or the American founding very well.  He  tirelessly urges us to learn from the wisdom of the framers of our Constitution  which so few Americans tend to do.
In a chapter on “Original Meaning ” Scalia reveals that at a conference  he challenged Attorney General Edwin Meese III on how to assess the Constitution’s original intent. Meese argued in favor of a judicial philosophy that searched for the original intentions of the framers. Scalia said he favored searching for the original meaning of the words of the Constitution instead. In his speech at the conference  he strongly set out the case for original public meaning  persuading Meese’s chief of staff  Ken Cribb  by the force of his argument. After  Scalia  finished speaking  Cribb scrawled the word “Stipulated” on a piece of paper and taped it to the podium. Two days later  President Ronald Reagan informed  Scalia  that  he  was going to be nominated to the Supreme Court.
 Scalia  speaks in  his  own words in this magnificent volume that should be on the bookshelf of every educated American.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity John Fritchey ? Shuftan made his comments after Commissioners John Fritchey and Luis Arroyo Jr.  both Chicago Democrats  announced they would introduce a resolution next week to put the question on the March 20 primary ballot.
After his announcement   Fritchey  made the rounds of the county boardroom at an unrelated committee meeting  asking for support.
A longtime advocate of making recreational marijuana use legal   Fritchey  pointed to the legalization and taxation of recreational marijuana in Colorado and Washington. State and local governments in Illinois could expect to bring in $500 million a year in pot taxes based on those statesâ experiences   he  said.
âItâs about unclogging a court system that is overburdened â  Fritchey  said. âIf we can take these cases out of the court system  we will be doing a tremendous service not just to the individuals but to the court system as well.â
âAlmost 90 percent of these cases get dismissed  doing nothing but leaving individuals with an arrest record â  he  added. âWe are wasting court resources. We are damaging lives. And we have the ability to do better.â
Fritchey â a former state lawmaker â also said  he  hoped a successful ballot question in Cook County would spur legislators to take a vote on a potentially thorny issue during an election year in 2018.
Sen. Heather Steans and Rep. Kelly Cassidy  both of whom like  Fritchey  live on the cityâs North Side  introduced legislation in March to allow the possession of up to 28 grams of pot  or about an ounce  and to grow five plants. Their proposals call for a tax of $50 an ounce  plus the standard state 6.25 percent sales tax. Local governments like the city and county collect their own sales taxes  so they likely also would bring in more money as a result of legalization.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Grace Mugabe ? MAZOWE  Zimbabwe â For years  a group of Zimbabwean villagers resisted efforts by the wife of former President Robert Mugabe to force them off a farm near the capital  enduring police raids and the demolition of their homes. Now that Mugabe has resigned  the farmers say they are able to move more freely in a blow to  Grace Mugabeâs  efforts to expand  her  landholdings.
 Grace Mugabe   whose ambitions to succeed  her  husband as president triggered a military takeover  has attracted criticism in the past for lavish shopping trips. In October   she  went to court in an attempt to seize assets of a Lebanese businessman who allegedly failed to deliver a diamond ring worth more than $1.35 million.
The former first lady set up a school and runs a dairy farm in Mazowe  projects that  she  said would boost Zimbabweâs devastated economy but were widely seen as an attempt to build a business empire for personal gain. Those ambitions are now in question after  her  93-year-old husband resigned Tuesday following pressure from the military  parliament and street protesters  ending nearly four decades in power that saw Zimbabwe slide into economic ruin.
The conflict over Manzou farm  also known as Arnold farm  was a flashpoint for national anger over perceptions that  Grace Mugabe  thought  she  was above the law in  her  efforts to evict residents and turn the area into a wildlife park. Earlier this year  human rights lawyers secured a court order allowing hundreds of villagers to stay on the farm  but police or guards showed up again and tried to force people off the land  according to community leader Innocent Dube.
 Grace Mugabe  ânever followed the court order â  he  said. â She  was still bringing police here.â
Now  however  things are different. After news of  Mugabe âs resignation reached the farm  villagers staged a demonstration  marching in nearby roads without interference from security forces. Police who used to watch the farmâs entrance appear to be hunkered down in their compound. A sign says âtrespassers will be prosecuted â but people come and go.
The villagers first moved into Manzou farm around 2000 as part of a wave of land seizures and evictions of farmers from Zimbabweâs white minority  which relinquished power in 1980 after a guerrilla war by black nationalists.  Mugabe  said the often-violent reform program was meant to redistribute resources to poor blacks  but many prime farms instead ended up in the hands of ruling party leaders  party loyalists  security chiefs  relatives and cronies.
Several years ago   Grace Mugabe  said people on Manzou farm were panning for gold  and  she  accused a local lawmaker of trying to incite people to resist  her  claim to the land.
âI might have a small fist â  she  said at the time. âBut when it comes to fighting  I will put stones inside to enlarge it. Do not doubt my capabilities.â
