"Portions of this book were originally published in 2004 under the title 'Scalia Dissents: Writings of the Supreme Court's Wittiest, Most Outspoken Justice' (ISBN 978-0-89526-053-6)"--Title page verso.
"Justice Scalia did more to advance originalism and judicial restraint than anyone in our time, and it all started with just two words: 'I dissent.' The passing of this brilliant jurist is a great loss, but his writings—with their plain language and constitutional moorings—will guide generations to come."
—Speaker of the House Paul Ryan
"He was a jurist of captivating brilliance and wit, with a rare talent to make even the most sober judge laugh. The press referred to his 'energetic fervor,' 'astringent intellect,' 'peppery prose,' 'acumen,' and 'affability,' all apt descriptions. He was eminently quotable, his pungent opinions so clearly stated that his words never slipped from the reader's grasp."
—Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, U.S. Supreme Court
