My, how times have changed

All too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.

Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1801

You talk about minorities — what minorities deserve protection? ….It’s up to me to decide deserving minorities?

Justice Antonin Scalia, speech at Georgetown University, November 16, 2015

So Scalia thinks minorities are supposed to “deserve” protection, rather than have a right to it? How is a piece of garbage like this allowed on the U.S, Supreme Court?
