Here's what the reviewers are saying about Damon Root's Overruled:
"Must-read."—Senator Rand Paul
"The most thorough account of the libertarian-conservative debate over judicial review…a valuable guide to both the past and the potential future of these important issues."—The Washington Post
"Confident, competent telling. In particular, [Root] powerfully illustrates that Holmes, Brandeis and Frankfurter—the most overrated justices in our history—had not the foggiest notion of the Constitution."—The Wall Street Journal
"Overruled is a sober, well-researched, and thoughtful case for the libertarian point of view on judicial issues ranging from gun control to economic regulation."—The Washington Monthly
"Lucid and brilliantly crafted…. Read it today so you can anticipate and understand the judicial contortions coming tomorrow."—Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

I might not be able to get down early enough for the start. I could meet up afterwards if the snow piles don't block all the parking places in Harvard Square.
I don't have plans for Tuesday, and it's about a 10-15 minute walk for me... But will there be hamilton, or tarran, or most importantly: alt-text?
I'm thinking about it, strongly. Actually clicked on the comments to see if you guys wanted to merge it with a meet-up. tarran, you in? Anyone else?

There's always the garages, if your orphans can carry the cash for them.
I force my orphans to do all sorts of horrid things, but there are some things that just go too far!
I would come but I'm in LA on Tuesday.
