- Character & the Constitution- two things that don't change!
I had previously recomended this work to several friends- buying it this time for my sons (14 & 17) to read. They also enjoyed Justice Scalia's candor and forthright approach to legal reasoning.

Rating:

- Great insight into Scalia's mind and legal philosophy
The only complaint I have about this book is that it dragged on for slightly too long. Other than that, it is a great summary of Scalia's most influential opinions and accurately summarizes his judicial philosophy and view.

- Scalia's great, but this book isn't worth it
I am a HUGE Scalia fan and agree with him on most constitutional and statutory questions, in addition to loving his sense of humor and wit. But for the life of me, I can't imagine why anybody would want to spend money on this book. The book is simply a handful of truncated Scalia opinions without the majority opinions to which he's responding.

All of these opinions can be accessed for free in their COMPLETE form from any number of legal websites (such as FindLaw, for instance). More importantly, those websites, unlike Ring's book, include the majority and concurring opinions in those cases, giving the reader at least the option of seeing what Scalia's opposition actually wrote.

~Scalia Dissents: Writings of the Supreme Court's Wittiest, Most Outspoken Justice~ is an intriguing anthology of some of the most pivotal Supreme Court cases during the tenure of associate Justice Antonin Scalia. Scalia has been a vigorous proponent of textualism in legal statutory interpretation and originalism as it relates to construction of the Constitution. He has been a passionate critic of the idea of a Living Constitution, declaring in tongue-in-cheek fashion that, "I like my Constitution dead." Though, Scalia is considered a conservative, he takes a more favorable view of national power and may be considered a partisan of Alexander Hamilton. At a conference on federalism, Scalia urged his colleagues to embrace a positive view of federal power "as Hamilton would have urged you--to keep in mind that the federal government is not bad but good. The trick is to use it wisely." Yet on the same token, Scalia has ... Read More
