Download The Justice of Contradictions: Antonin Scalia and the Politics of Disruption AudioBook Free
An eye-opening look at the influential Supreme Court justice who disrupted American jurisprudence to be able to delegitimize opponents and establish a conventional legal order Engaging but caustic and openly ideological, Antonin Scalia was being among the most influential justices ever before to serve on the United States Supreme Court. In this particular fascinating new book, legal scholar Richard L. Hasen assesses Scalia's complicated legacy as a conventional legal thinker and disruptive general population intellectual. The left saw Scalia as an unscrupulous foe who amplified his judicial role with scathing dissents and outrageous general population comments. The proper looked at him as a exceptional principled justice focused on neutral tools of constitutional and statutory interpretation. Hasen offers a more nuanced perspective, demonstrating how Scalia was crucial to reshaping jurisprudence on issues from abortion to gun rights to separation of forces. A jumble of contradictions, Scalia promised neutral tools to legitimize the Supreme Court, but his jurisprudence and confrontational style moved the Court to the right, alienated potential allies, and helped to delegitimize the institution he was hoping to save.
