To the Editor:

   I had thought that justice Scalia's long masquerade was over when he opined in Medellin that the Supremacy clause of our Constitution doesn't mean what it says. How then can Mr. Liptak write of justice Scalia's "adhering to the text and original meaning of the Constitution"? Is this satire?
