Garrett Epps is  a former reporter for The Washington Post,  a novelist and legal scholar.  He teaches courses in constitutional law and creative writing for law students at the University of Baltimore.

 His new book is Wrong and Dangerous: Ten Right Wing Myths About Our Constitution. He has a short but provocative commentary in the Atlantic about the influence of Justice Scalia which begins with, “The Reagan appointee has been perhaps the most significant influence on law in the past three decades. But the start of the new Term looks likely to mark the end of the Scalia Court and the beginning of the Roberts.” Sound pretty dry? Well the article does go on to say, “But for me the winning words were: “That’s enough frivolity for a while,” uttered by the Chief Justice to Scalia during the final day of the health-care marathon. Scalia had interrupted argument of this generation’s most important case to begin riffing on an old Jack Benny radio routine. The Chief Justice was not amused. He shot a venomous look at Scalia and told him, in barely civil words, to shut up. That same look flickered across Roberts’s face on June 25, when Scalia embarrassed the Court with his rant against Obama during the opinions on the Arizona case. (That monologue, I think, may have been the inspiration for Clint Eastwood’s speech in Tampa.)”
