SCALIA'S RULE BOOK - DO WHAT I SAY! by John P. Flannery Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, of the U.S. Supreme Court, has broken his
media silence to talk on camera in order to hawk a rule book (115 rules to be precise) that he's written with Bryan Garner,
his sycophantic co-author whose claim to fame is as the author of "Modern American Usage" and the "Elements
of Legal Style".
The title of the book is "Making your case - the Art of Persuading Judges."

Scalia's interviews promoting his book. There are, however, some interesting anomalies for
the alert observer. [You may read the rest of the review here.]
