Antonin Scalia And Pope Francis In Trapped Elevator In A Mine Shaft

Antonin Scalia and Pope Francis are stuck in Trapped Elevator in a Mine Shaft and forced to have a deep conversation.

Here is the conversation:

Scalia: Well, this is just great. Original intent clearly didn't include being stuck in a tin can hurtling down a mine shaft.

Francis: (Calmly) Perhaps, Antonin, this is a moment of grace, an unexpected pause to reflect on our shared humanity.

Scalia: Humanity, Your Holiness? I'm more concerned with the constitutionality of this elevator's safety regulations.

Francis: Surely, brother, a focus solely on law obscures the suffering of those who depend on it, the poor miners, for example.

Scalia: Sentimentality! Law is law, objectively applied. The subjective is a quicksand upon which no society can stand.

Francis: But isn't justice always filtered through the lens of our own experiences, our own capacity for compassion?

Scalia: Compassion without order breeds chaos, Your Holiness. A society without firm boundaries is a society doomed.

Francis: And a society without mercy, Antonin, hardens the heart and blinds us to the cries of our brothers and sisters.

Scalia: (Grumbling) I suppose even a strict constructionist can acknowledge the inherent dignity of all persons… but the law must prevail!

Francis: Then let us pray that the law of gravity keeps us from falling any further, and that our shared dignity helps us find solace in this shared predicament.
