Scalia Dissents: Writings of the Supreme Court's Wittiest, Most Outspoken Justice by Scalia, Antonin. Hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780895260536.

Brilliant. Colorful. Visionary. Tenacious. Witty. Since his appointment to the Supreme Court in 1986, Associate Justice Antonin Scalia has been described as all of these things and for good reason. He is perhaps the best-known justice on the Supreme Court today and certainly the most controversial. Yet most Americans have probably not read even one of his several hundred Supreme Court opinions. In Scalia Dissents, Kevin Ring, former counsel to the U.S. Senates Constitution Subcommittee, lets Justice Scalia speak for himself. This volume—the first of its kind— showcases the quotable justices take on many of todays most contentious constitutional debates. Scalia Dissents contains over a dozen of the justices most compelling and controversial opinions. Ring also provides helpful background on the opinions and a primer on Justice Scalias judicial philosophy. Scalia Dissents is the perfect book for readers who love scintillating prose and penetrating insight on the most important constitutional issues of our time.
