2026 will see a bumper crop of books about Justice Samuel Alito. Three are planned: Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution by Mollie Hemingway; Revenge for the Sixties: Sam Alito and the Triumph of the Conservative Legal Movement by Peter S. Canellos; and So Ordered: An Originalist’s View of the Constitution, the Court, and Our Country by Justice Alito himself.

I’ve obtained advanced copies of two of the books, Alito and Revenge for the Sixties. One is from the conservative side and one from the liberal side, but both are by fair journalists. Both are worth reading.
