In his comprehensive analysis of Antonin Scalia’s judicial philosophy, Dorsen, Of Counsel with Sedgwick, LLP, former Assistant Chief Counsel of the Senate Watergate Committee, and author of Henry Friendly, finds that the conservative justice wrote some surprisingly liberal opinions. Dorsen traces these to Scalia’s two bedrock principles: originalism, which caused him to decide cases as the founders would have in 1789, and textualism, which limits what judges can interpret. Guided by a rigorous adherence to these frameworks, Scalia expressed views that are more complex than the conservative stands he’s known for. This illuminating study of the late Justice’s thought is also a fascinating look at how and why the Supreme Court divides on constitutional and statutory cases, and how Justices’ philosophies frame their arguments.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
