Scalia Dissents: Writings of the Supreme Court's Wittiest, Most Outspoken Justice
Face it, you don't get through law school, become a law professor, serve as Assistant Attorney General, and serve as a Justice on America's top court by being an idiot. Since critics of Scalia pick and choose which comments to criticize, liberals probably don't know if Scalia is principled or an opportunist. The best way to find out is to read some of his writing and decide for yourself. This book collects some of Justice Scalia's opinions on hot-button topics like the death penalty, abortion, gender equality, free speech, and homosexuality.
Why this is libertarian/conservative: In addition to his conservative judicial decisions Scalia was instrumental in establishing the Federalist Society and has been associated for decades with the American Enterprise Institute. One of the architects of modern conservative judicial philosophy and one of the most influential living jurists.
