Synopsis

The sudden passing of Justice Antonin Scalia shook America. After almost thirty years on the Supreme Court, Scalia had become as integral to the institution as the hallowed room in which he sat. His wisecracking interruptions during oral arguments, his unmatched legal wisdom, his unwavering dedication to the Constitution, and his blistering dissents defined his leadership role on the court and inspired new generations of policymakers and legal minds.

Now, as Republicans and Democrats wage war over Scalia's lamentably empty Supreme Court seat, Kevin A. Ring, former counsel to the U.S. Senate's Constitution Subcommittee, has taken a close look at the cases that best illustrate Scalia's character, philosophy, and legacy. In Scalia's Court, Ring collects Scalia's most memorable opinions on free speech, separation of powers, race, religious freedom, the rights of the accused, abortion, and more; and intersperses Scalia's own words with an analysis of his legal reasoning and his lasting impact on American jurisprudence.

The book can get a bit ponderous and it would be nice if it was more about the man than his words…but that would be a different book…what comes through is Scalia’s unrelenting demand that the constitution means what it says and that’s all…and that if the document doesn’t speak directly on an issue t......more

Goodreads review by Stanislav

Justice Scalia uses the mastery of English language and logic to state his opinions with amazing clarity. The brutality of simplicity of logic with which Justice Scalia takes apart, brick by brick if you will, the opinion of majority is awe inspiring. The consistency with which he applies the princi......more
