Scalia's Treatment of Briar and Suitor

Frida Ghitis: Scalia is a great example of textualism. He's choosing to use history as the reason police are given broad discretion, and so we shouldn't stray from that. She says he said it can't possibly be required for police to arrest someone if they don't know where that person is. Ghitis: The entire purpose of this statute is to help combat violence against women and children. And there's something so obscene here because Scalia ignores the text, which he usually focuses on.
