What I’m Doing Recently
April 2nd, 2009
I’ve not blogged much the last week or so but I’ve been reading; I wish I engaged more material faster as often the dearth of my posts is due to my feeling that I’ve not engaged enough material from different viewpoints.
For BestLawTalks lately I’ve been reading Antonin Scalia’s A Matter of Interpretation. I started Stephen Breyer’s Active Liberty: Interpreting Our Democratic Constitution but I’d have to say that I fall far closer to Scalia’s viewpoint of textualism and questioning the Twentieth Century application of “due process.” On the topic of due process and common law I’m still reading Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr’s The Common Law.
