Joan Biskupic, American Original: The Life and Constitution of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia

The book is a rationalization of Scalia's behavior and his alleged "legal theories." The lackadaisical author fondly writes about his background and formative events in Italian America. But there is nothing to rationalize or explain.

He is a power-drank bigot, and that's all to it. Corruption by power is a story as old as the world itself. There is no logic behind his "legalistic" thinking; only demagoguery which serves as justification of exercise of unrestrained power of a Supreme Court Justice and an intellectual leader of the Roberts court.

Justice's Scalia behavior is not without its subtle humor.  When his crony Vice President--if anytime the double entendre of Vice was more suitable--shot a man in the face on the hunting expedition, obviously to have fun and test his invincibility, few people paid attention to Scalia's presence. In fact, as a member of an Opus Dei, Scalia must lead monastic life in the world. Monastic lifestyle in eyes of most people is poorly amenable to hunting. But again, many Renaissance popes included hunting and other pleasurable activities in their tenures. Yet nobody in American media dared to ask: "What other proclivities of the Renaissance popes Judge Scalia may be harboring?"
