Scalia on FOX News Sunday

If you're a SCOTUS nerd, make sure you catch a replay of this.

 

And if that's not enough, Sandra Day O'Connor is going to be on Face the Nation this morning.

 

This has to be a hoax; only an activist judge would appear on a morning political show, especially one on Fox News.

 

He's going a whirlwind tour. Damage control?

 

He's got a book to flog.

 

New book out:

Would be interesting to know (a) how much he got paid for this book, which clearly has no mainstream audience and (b) who exactly paid him.

But I suppose transparency only applies to Democrats.

 

Reading Law: The Importance of Imposing One's Personal Opinions On Everyone Else

-- by Antonin Soprano

 

He's already written several books clearly intended for legal audiences, including one other with Bryan Garner, his co-author on this book, who is the leading authority on modern legal writing (wrote the Red Book -- legal writing's version of the AP style book -- and is the current editor of Black's Law Dictionary, among other things). And the book is being published by West's, one of the two leading publishing houses for legal texts, casebooks and other insanely expensive books for lawyers, judges and law students.

While transparency in the amount of the advance would certainly be a good thing, it's odd to imply something nefarious here.

 

Sandra got bumped when CBS scored an interview with Mitt Romney from Israel.

Will air next week.

 

Shelly Adelson chuckles.

Bought and paid for, baby.

 

He was originally slated to write "Get Over It: How a Terrible Eagles Song Inspired Me to Rage Against Liberals in the Wave of Bush v. Gore."
