Justice Antonin Scalia was an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1986 until his death in 2016. He was nominated to the court by President Ronald Reagan and was known for his conservative views. He was a strong proponent of textualism in statutory interpretation and originalism in constitutional interpretation. His most famous opinion was his dissent in the case of District of Columbia v. Heller, which established an individual right to bear arms. Scalia's legacy will continue to shape American jurisprudence for years to come.
