Last week marked the 10-year anniversary of the passing of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. And while the Reagan appointee is no longer with us, his originalist scholarship is still influencing many of the current high court’s biggest rulings.
That’s the main takeaway from James Rosen’s Scalia: Supreme Court Years, 1986-2001, the newly released second volume in a three-part biographical series on one of SCOTUS’ most renowned justices. Filled with extensive research and hard-hitting analysis, the literary work represents a strong and honest counter to Scalia’s past (and more antagonistic) biographers.
