Scalia's Court: A Legacy of Landmark Opinions and Dissents

Scalia's Court: A Legacy of Landmark Opinions and Dissents

"The passing of this brilliant jurist is a great loss, but his writingsâ‚¬"with their plain language and constitutional mooringsâ‚¬"will guide generations to come." - Speaker of the House Paul RyanÂ

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 Scaliaâ‚¬s lamentably empty Supreme Court seat, Kevin Ring, former counsel to the U.S. Senateâ‚¬s Constitution Subcommittee, has taken a close look at the cases that best illustrate Scaliaâ‚¬s character, philosophy, and legacy. In Scaliaâ‚¬s Court: A Legacy of Landmark Opinions and Dissents, Ring collects Scaliaâ‚¬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.

â‚¬Å“I donâ‚¬t worry about my legacy,â‚¬Â Scalia once told an audience at the National Archives. â‚¬Å“Just do your job right, and who cares?â‚¬Â

Now that "the lion of American law has left the stage,â‚¬Â as the U.S. Attorney General put it, it is for the rest of America to worry about his legacyâ‚¬"and to care.
