Several big names have defined the Supreme Court: John Marshall, Roger Taney, Earl Warren, Antonin Scalia, Ruth Bader Ginsburg,... But there is another Justice who has arguably been one of the most influential in the past 20+ years: Justice Samuel Alito.
From his new book Revenge For the Sixties, award-winning journalist and former executive director of POLITICO Peter Canellos shares the fascinating upbringing, philosophy, and style that made Justice Alito a pioneer of the conservative legal movement. He also provides a preview of his other book about another interesting Justice named John Marshall Harlan, who notably was the lone dissenter in Plessy v. Ferguson.
This is a fascinating topic for everyone interested in the Supreme Court and our judiciary system!
