American Original: The Life and Constitution of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Hardcover - 2009

by Biskupic, Joan


From the publisher

Unprecedented access to the Supreme Court's most fascinating Justice Even as Democrats have now taken over the executive and legislative branches, the judicial branch remains rooted in conservatism. The legacy of three Republican presidents still dominates, with Antonin Scalia its central figure. In this first fullscale biography of the Supreme Court justice, veteran Supreme Court correspondent Joan Biskupic introduces us to Justice Scalia, a conservative with a vengeance, a man who seeks to roll back abortion rights and affirmative action and who declares that he has never met a condemned prisoner who was wrongly sentenced to die. This outspoken jurist who lives large--from duck-hunting with Dick Cheney to opera-viewing with Ruth Bader Ginsburg--has accumulated a body of work that today is an inspiring template for conservative leaders, lower-court judges, and law students. He is the most quoted member of the sitting Court. President Obama will likely appoint at least two new justices to the Court--but it could be years before his judicial appointees are able to change the tenor of the law. In the meantime, after nearly a quarter century as a Supreme Court justice, Scalia may be at the apex of his power. This new book takes us into the world of the man, his journey, and the far-reaching consequences of his opinions in the social counterrevolution.
