[EL] Looking for a Scalia quote

[Sarah Rosier]

Could this be it?

Above is a link to an article about his 2013 speech at GULC.
Some excerpts:
"They are not trained to be moral philosophers, which is what it takes to
determine whether there should be, and hence is, a right to abortion, or
homosexual sodomy, assisted suicide, et cetera."

"Non-originalist judges say, ‘We agonize a lot.’ I don’t agonize a lot.
Should there be a right to this or that? That’s not my job."
