...loop when the bridal party visits a psychic. Bella, the clairvoyant says, will get married within a year, to one of her ex-boyfriends - but if she doesn't find him in that time frame, she will never marry. (Some prophets speak in parables; this one speaks in high-concept-series pitches.) Each episode she tracks down...

Within the Supreme Court, Scalia is one of the leading proponents of constitutional originalism. He opposes the concept of a “living Constitution,” that the Constitution’s meaning should be adapated to fit the needs of contemporary society. In the speech, Scalia invoked the era before Earl Warren became Chief Justice in the mid-20th century, when the standard view held that...
