Very Interesting Analysis
I was an undergraduate student in Dr. Staab's courses at UCM. This work reads in a similar manner to the discussions that I recall. There are a number of books available on Justice Scalia that read more like biographies of the man or his political philosophy. This one is unique in trying to pain a more dynamic picture rather than just calling the justice a conservative or an originalist. It is a very academic book and the reading level seems just beyond that of the average high school student. It would rank as above average in terms of difficulty compared to many of my better college texts. Still, I've loaned it to several of my more advanced high school students and they have found it readable with a little assistance. A healthy understanding of American political history and the thinking of our early political leaders was needed to appreciate the analysis.
