Books:

Against the Imperial Judiciary: The Supreme Court vs. the Sovereignty of the People 

(University Press of Kansas, 1996)

Sober As a Judge: The Supreme Court and Republican Liberty, co-edited with Richard G. Stevens

(Lexington Books, 1999)--now out of print, but I have copies available for interested parties.

I am also an occasional contributor of articles to National Review Online, where I also blog for the "Bench Memos" page.  My postings there are archived here.

From January to May 2007, I wrote a series of blog posts at "Bench Memos" commenting on each of the 85 essays in The Federalist.  That series, titled "The Perennial Publius," is available here as a single PDF file with bookmarks to each entry in the blog series.
