Description
Now, as Republicans and Democrats wage war over Scalia’s lamentably empty Supreme Court seat, Kevin Ring, former counsel to the U.S. Senate’s Constitution Subcommittee, has taken a close have a look at the cases that best illustrate Scalia’s character, philosophy, and legacy. In Scalia’s Court: A Legacy of Landmark Opinions and Dissents, 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 affect on American jurisprudence.
I don’t worry about my legacy,” Scalia once told an audience on the National Archives. Just do your job right, and who cares?”
Now that “the lion of American law has left the stage,” as the U.S. Attorney General put it, it’s for the remainder of The united states to worry about his legacyand to care.
