YR: Thank you. Justice Scalia, you are often said to be an originalist, to believe in interpreting the Constitution as the founders would have and did. How can this recent opinion be an originalist opinion? The founders never gave corporations the constitutional rights of free speech, or to vote, or to run for office.
AS: They would have if I had thought about it.
Anyway, I'm for originalism only when I'm for originalism, and not when I'm not. So the recent opinion is consistent with my philosophy.
YR: Thank you. Justice Roberts, there are some people who are claiming that your wing of the Court is prepared not only to rule that corporations have a plethora of rights such as free speech, to vote and to hold office, but is also prepared to rule that, when a corporation is President, it will be permissible for a bot to be Vice President. Is that true?
JR: Yes.
YR: Really? Why?
