Scalia Speaks: Reflections on Law, Faith, and Life Well Lived by Antonin Scalia

4.0

Scalia's theory of Constiutional originalism was inconsistently applied, and, when he chose to make use of it, the results were often silly or damaging or both. I could never figure the degree to which Scalia (with his obvious intelligence) recognized the weaknesses and gaps in his own narrative about originalism, and this collection doesn't do much to clear up my confusion.

What does come through are Scalia's considerable skills as a speaker. He projects warmth, intelligence, and good humor throughout. It's a well-curated collection that offers a compelling glimpse into Scalia's public persona away from the bench.
