The Tom Woods Show, episode 595.

Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion.

Your daily dose of Liberty Education starts here, the Tom Woods Show.

Hey, everybody, don't miss out on the event of the year.

Bob Murphy and I are hosting a cruise.

That's right, it's the Contra Cruise, October 9th to 16th,

2016 aboard Royal Caribbean. Check it out at contracruise.com. Hi, everybody. Tom Woods here. We're doing

an episode today on the life and thought of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, the late Justice Scalia.

He was obviously a very influential and important figure in modern American history.

And to talk to us about this, of course, who else would we invite?

But Kevin Gutzman, who is chairman of the Department of History at Western Connecticut State University.

He holds his law degree from the University of Texas at Austin Law School and a Ph.D. in U.S. history from the University of Virginia.

He has other degrees as well. He's ridiculously credentialed.

He is my co-author on the book Who Killed the Constitution, the fate of American

Liberty from World War I to Barack Obama. He is the author of other books like the politically

incorrect guide to the Constitution, a New York Times bestseller, and James Madison

and The Making of America. Kevin, welcome back to the show. Happy to be here, Tom. Justice Scalia died several

days ago, and so we'd like to talk about him, his career, his legacy, his ideas, his importance,

all that stuff. I don't know the details surrounding his death. I guess none of us know,

and there is something a little bit odd about that. Have you read it, followed any of this, about whether or not they're going to have

an autopsy? Uh, yeah, I heard that his family didn't want to have an autopsy. You know,

he was 79 years old. He was overweight. He apparently smoked a lot, and I find it totally unsurprising that he died.
