issues that had arisen during his time as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. He believed that state laws should not protect gay rights. Justice Scalia said that corporate political spending is considered free speech. He also believed that fleeing the police is reasonable grounds for a search and wanted to shorten the time between sentencing and executions. Antonin Scalia believed that DUI and K-9 checkpoints are perfectly legal and constitutional. He also believed that after a company stopped polluting citizens, governments and companies should not be able to sue the polluter. Another major opinion he had was that felons and sensitive public buildings should have gun restrictions and everywhere is free ground for the carrying of firearms.
Scalia ruled in the Roe v. Wade case that nowhere in the constitution did it say that states had to permit abortion on demand and if the state felt it was necessary than they can pass laws regarding the issue. Antonin Scalia died February 13, 2016 after he became ill at a ranch in Schafter, Texas after a day of quail hunting.
