“Justice Antonin Scalia: Life and Legacy.” The National Constitution Center has posted online at this link the video of the wonderful two-part program that I had the pleasure of attending earlier this evening. It was a pleasure seeing so many friends and fans of “How Appealing” at the event.

Programming note: After attending a work-related meeting in Center City Philadelphia this afternoon, I will be heading to the National Constitution Center to see this evening’s America’s Town Hall program titled “Justice Antonin Scalia: Life and Legacy.” You can view the program live, online on YouTube via this link starting at 6 p.m. eastern time.

The Scalia program features Edward Whelan (co-editor of the book “Scalia Speaks“), Richard Hasen (author of the forthcoming book “The Justice of Contradictions: Antonin Scalia and the Politics of Disruption,” available for purchase March 20, 2018), Kannon Shanmugam, and Elizabeth Wydra.
