(2008 photo credit) Scalia spoke in explanation of the scope of questions that he deems easily decided by his originalist approach to constitutional interpretation. In the Justice's words:

'We don’t have the answer to everything, but by God we have an answer to a lot of stuff ... especially the most controversial: whether the death penalty is unconstitutional, whether there’s a constitutional right to abortion, to suicide ....'
