Critical Acclaim
“Like a Scalia opinion, The Justice of Contradictions is superbly written, filled with brilliant insights and unsparing in its analysis. Both liberals and conservatives will see Scalia and his legacy in a new and more illuminating light.”—Adam Winkler, author of Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America
"Rick Hasen uses his powerful analytic ability to point out the numerous contradictions and inconsistencies in Scalia's jurisprudence. Any serious student of the Supreme Court will find much to admire, and something to disagree with, in this important book."—Burt Neuborne, author of Madison's Music: On Reading the First Amendment
"A brilliant analysis of Justice Antonin Scalia’s work. This clearly written and accessible book will be an essential resource for all thinking about Scalia’s place in history and the last three decades of American law."—Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean and Jesse H. Choper Distinguished Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley, School of Law
“An accessible and insightful account of Antonin Scalia, one of the Supreme Court’s most colorful, controversial, and iconoclastic justices. Hasen delivers a nuanced appreciation of a brilliant man whose many internal contradictions undermined his own potential for influence on the Court—even as he profoundly shaped the way we think and argue about constitutional law today.”—David Cole, National Legal Director, ACLU, and author of Engines of Liberty: How Citizen Movements Succeed
"Antonin Scalia was one of the most consequential and controversial justices in the history of the Supreme Court. Rick Hasen has given us a masterpiece on his jurisprudence and his personality—sophisticated but accessible, insightful and penetrating. A must-read for anyone interested in the Court and its impact on society."—Norman Ornstein, resident scholar, American Enterprise Institute
