first, justice anthony kennedy. [applause] >> thank you, and good evening. welcome. thank you very much for the work you do, that all of you do for the supreme court historical society. one of the fascinating aspects of a great institution is that you learned over time the place you have in it. it is not apparent to you at the outset. and the historical society is of immense importance, in part because it reminds of the justices of what they must learn in order to understand their role. your work is very, very important. sometimes people ask me, are you nervous before you go on the bench? the answer is no. sometimes those of you who teach will hear teachers tell students, well, it is just as hard to give the exam as it is to take it. do not believe that. and it is the same way about arguing cases. but my colleague not long ago made the comment that although he agreed with me that we do not feel nervous before go on the bench, we feel that way before we go into conference. we have to present and argued nine cases, and you want to be prepared and do not want to say som

it is to design the majority opinion any time anthony kennedy will let him. [laughter] otherwise kennedy will choose john paul stevens to sign the majority opinion. it is senseless to talk about the roberts court and indeed with the exception of john marshall and possibly the earl warren, i think it is genuinely a mistake to refer to the court as belonging to the chief justice. one should look to the rhythms of american history or the rhythms of what is happening at the supreme court and divide your analysis the way, and that is what i have done in my 11 chapters. there is only one chapter-- excuse me, two. i in fact to chains chapters when john jane leaves the court because i think when he left the court in 1794, concluding that it was never going to amount to anything. that is one of the reasons why his reputation 200 years later is a lot lower than when he left the court, but, the congress state had just ratified the 11th amendment which overruled the first supreme court decision interpreting the constitution, so the court was deemed by everyone wrong, 041

because it is historic that we have six, chief justice roberts, clarence thomas, antonin scalia, anthony kennedy, clarence thomas and the newest justice alito and newest justice so why sotomayor. i think if you agree justice scalia is most known as a catholic. he talks about the most, his friends say that he believes it is the one true church. he likes the high mass, he likes the idea everybody should observe the holy days and uzi rose reason he is a committed catholic and one of the hardest chapters to light is about his catholicism and about abortion because many of his critics believe that his views on catholicism influence his view on abortion and i described them as parallel passions, and passion for catholicism and passion for the repudiation of low versus wade that made abortion legal nationwide. and what he says is i read text. i am of original list. my catholic views and none of my personal views influence how why you roe v wade which he finds completely illegitimate. he doesn't believe it has any constitutional grounding and i let him have a say on that and i talked about how important

good question because it is historic that we have six, chief justice roberts, justice thomas, anthony kennedy clarence thomas and justice alito and u.s. justice sotomayor and they all have different approaches to their catholicism but i think everyone would agree that justice scalia is most known as a catholic. he talks about it most, his friends say that he believes it is the one true church, he lives of the high mass, he likes the idea that everyone should observe all the holy days and say the rosary so he's quite a committed catholic and one of the hardest chapters read was about his catholicism an abortion because many of his critics believe that his views on catholicism influenced this abortion in the way i describe him as a parallel passion, a real passion for catholicism and a passion for the repudiation of roe vs. wade that made abortion legal nationwide and what he says is i read tax, i'm an original list of my catholic views and their personal views don't influence how i view will versus wade which he finds completely illegitimate and the assembly and has constitutional grounding. i
