Justice Scalia leads the celebrations

"Autumn in New York" the words cascade from
Sinatra on my iPod, and I am on my way. It is a perfect time to be in
Manhattan, and this week I shall be there for several days. "Why does it
seem so exciting?" Old Blue Eyes croons on. My answer to him, wherever he
might be, is that this week in New York the 2005 Columbus Week Celebrations
are underway.
There will be exuberant celebrations of Italian-Americans in
song, in the kitchen and engaged in all the other civilized pursuits for
which they have demonstrated such flair. From the Old Country the Italians
have sent sports cars, wines and other specimens of Italian art and
commerce. But this year the Columbus Week will feature something at once
extraordinary and timely. One week after President Bush announced yet
another nominee to the Supreme Court, prompting another ghoulish Senate
hearing, the liveliest mind now on the Court, Antonin Scalia, is serving as
Grand Marshal of the Columbus Day Parade.
Justice Scalia is renowned for his learning, his wit and his
love of debate. He will be around all weekend, and you can be sure that at
every event he attends whether the elegant Saturday night Gala at the
Waldorf or the Sunday morning concert at Columbus Circle or the parade
itself the justice will be a memorable presence. Scalia is one of the
most invigorating minds in Washington and one of the most principled. He is
famed for his intellectual jousting but also for his good nature.
The jousting is almost always about serious matters, often the
role of the courts in our system of government and the relevance of our
Constitution. In honoring Scalia, the son of Italian immigrants (his father
was a professor of Romance languages), the Columbus Citizens Foundation,
which sponsors the Columbus Week Celebration, has put together an
exceptional Supreme Court exhibit in Grand Central Terminal's Vanderbilt
Hall. Says Lawrence Auriana, the Foundation's ebullient president: "The
United States Supreme Court, which is the subject of great interest
recently, is one of America's most important contributions to civilization
yet its history and functions are little understood by many people."
Thus, there is in Vanderbilt Hall an exhibit on the workings of
the Court with story boards that, with the coming hearings on Harriet Miers,
the latest nominee to the Court, should be of immediate interest to
everyone. There is also an exhibit of old and invaluable documents that
suggest the development of the Court in our Constitutional evolution. One
such document is an exact engraving of the Declaration of Independence
dating from 1823. There is the Connecticut Courant and Weekly
Intelligencer's original 1787 printing of the Constitution, and there are
letters from George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
The most interesting letters are to be found in the
correspondence of Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin with two distinguished
18th-century Italian intellectuals about the possible development of law in
America. Franklin's correspondent, the Neapolitan, Gaetano Filangieri, was a
proponent of the free press, proportionality in criminal punishment, free
trade and other ideas deemed daring in his time but soon to be part of
American law. Jefferson's correspondent, Filippo Mazzei, a Florentine,
actually came to live near him in Virginia. He has now been recognized as
the originator of Jefferson's famous term, "All men are created equal."
Finally, along with the ancient documents is an exhibit focusing
on New York's hometown boy, Scalia. Highlighted in this exhibit is a
statement by him that illuminates the controversies over the present Supreme
Court vacancy and probably those to come. "The Constitution is an enduring
document but not a living one. And its meaning must not be altered to suit
the whims of society." That reminds me of a testimonial delivered to Scalia
recently by one of the greatest living Supreme Court lawyers, former
Solicitor General Ted Olson. "His opinions have special weight because they
are written in a particularly engaging, persuasive and readable style. He
brings passion to logic." You can be sure Justice Scalia will bring passion
to the Columbus Day Parade.
