he's discussing some weighty jurisprudential issues in a book review over at FirstThings. Reviewing Law's Quandry by Stephen Smith, Scalia seems intrigued by many of the conflicts in the modern conception of law that Smith sees, including some logical inconsistencies that seem to stem from overreliance on realist principles. However, he also rebuts many of Smith's claimed inconsistencies in how we view law, arguing, essentially, that they are rendered moot by Scalia's jurisprudential views and "original meaning" methods of constitutional interpretation. Scalia is in top form, and Smith's book comes off as worth a read as well.
Hat tip to Bench Memos.
