Scalia Addresses Orthodox Jewish Group On Church-State Issues

The New York Sun reports on a speech given Sunday night by Justice Antonin Scalia to the annual dinner of the Agudath Israel of America. He said that the Constitution should not be read to "banish the Almighty from the public forum." He also complained about the Supreme Court's recent rulings that government cannot favor religion over non-religion, saying that this does not, represent American tradition. Extensive photos of the event are available on Yeshiva World News. An audio recording of Scalia's full speech is available online from JBlog.Central.
