"The People's Justice"

Last week's Wall St. Journal had a book review of 6th Cir. Judge Amul Thapar's book on Justice Thomas: ‘The People’s Justice’ Review: The Originalist and the Masses -- When we follow the Constitution’s text, a federal judge argues, the weak and the powerless stand to benefit the most.

In other appellate news, Prof. Martin points out that the 9th Circuit may have jumped the gun in issuing an opinion after a certified question to SCOCA before waiting for finality of SCOCA's opinion!
