"Many hoped or feared that Antonin Scalia's appointment to the Supreme Court in 1986 would guarantee a conservative counter-revolution that would reverse the liberal jurisprudence of the Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren and which was continued to some extent under the Burger Court though the influence of Justice William Brennan. In addition, President Reagan described Scalia's nomination as part of a project to remake the ro ..."
"This book explores two basic questions regarding constitutional theory. First, in view of a commitment to democratic self-rule and widespread disagreement on questions of value, how is the creation of a legitimate constitutional regime possible? Second, what must be true about a constitution if the regime that it supports is to retain its claim to legitimacy? Howard Schweber shows that the answers to these questions appear in a theory o ..."
"America developed its own system of the "common law" (the name for legal principles developed by judges) in the mid-nineteenth century, abandoning the legal system inherited from England. This comparative study of the development of American law contrasts the experiences of North and South by a study of Illinois and Virginia, supported by observations from six states. It has an original comparative focus highlighting the connections bet ..."

"In Democracy and Authenticity Professor Howard Schweber examines a basic problem for liberal democracies. When a political entity is characterized by a multitude of identities and values, certain constraints apply to reasons for citizens and public officials to justify coercive political actions. The author argues that justifications based on particular religious doctrines are not a proper basis for government actions that affect everyo ..."
"I will not delve into this area of law as much as I do in the other sections in this
part of the chapter, because Scalia's executive-power views have already been
ably explored in James Staab's excellent profile of Justice Scalia as a
Hamiltonian."

"Under the guidance of Joseph C. Cabell, president of the company and uncle of
Justice William Cabell, the company decided to continue the James River canal
to Lynchburg, to make the Kanawha navigable, and to connect the two
waterways with a short railroad (Moger, 1952: 423). No trans- Virginia rail plan
would be undertaken so long as the eastern river ports and canal interests had
anything to say about it, lest the profitability of ..."
