And I'm your host here for this hour.

James Rosen, he's the chief Washington correspondent for Newsmax and an author of a lot of books.

It's gotten rave reviews.

It's an inside look at the life and mind and the impact of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

And this volume covers the first half of Scalia's nearly 30 years on the high court.

James is just a great writer, and it's a great book, and we're going to talk to him about Scalia.

We'll also save a little time to let you hear some of his extraordinarily good impressions of some leading American iconic figures.
