But through the force of his personality, and not because he was on the winning side of cases so much on the Supreme Court, more often in dissent, but through his personality, his dazzling literary gifts, his use of language,
Scalia ushered in a kind of counter-revolution in this country.
He changed forever the way the law is drafted, enacted, debated, and decided by our courts.
That legacy affects every American today.
And by the time he died, no less a figure than Justice Eleanor Kagan, who had been appointed by President Obama, pronounced publicly that as a result of this counter-revolution by Antonin Scalia, if you will, quote, we are all originalists now.
Right.
Yeah, the Warren Court popularized the living constitution notion.
But I want to make clear about this book and both of the books.
This is not just for lawyers.
I'm not a lawyer, and I wrote the thing.
And in preparing this for hardcovers and going through the editing process, I found myself cracking up because Scully himself was so fun.
Say again?
And this book gives you both originalism and textualism, explains Scalia's philosophy and how he used it in his gifts to change the law in this country.
And you'll get the specific cases through which he did this.
But you'll also get the man.
You'll get the husband, the father, the devout Catholic.
The first book traced the formation of Scalia's Catholic faith.
This book shows you how he strove.
to keep his Catholic faith out of his legal opinions, even when he was ruling in ways that pleased about Catholics, like on abortion, because he understood that the honest judge will not graft his religious tenets onto his legal opinions.
The honest judge will just interpret the law as it was written and widely understood in its time.
