Thanks in part to his efforts, by 2018 a majority of sitting Supreme Court justices self-identified as \"originalists.\" \u003cbr\u003eAfter writing seminal books on libertarianism and contract law, Barnett pivoted to constitutional law. His mission to restore \"the lost Constitution\" took him from the schoolhouse to the courthouse, where he argued the medical marijuana case of \u003ci\u003eGonzeles v. Raich\u003c\/i\u003e in the Supreme Court--a case now taught to every law student. Later, he devised and spearheaded the constitutional challenge to Obamacare.\u003cbr\u003eAll this earned him major profiles in such publications as the \u003cem\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eNew York Times.\u003c\/em\u003e Now he recounts his compelling journey from a working-class kid in Calumet City, Illinois to \"Washington Power Breaker,\" as the \u003cem\u003eCongressional Quarterly Weekly\u003c\/em\u003e called him.In \u003ci\u003eA Life for Liberty\u003c\/i\u003e, Barnett writes candidly about his career strategies, and how he overcame his outsider status, his insecurities, and the mistakes he made along the way. The engaging story of his rise from obscurity to one of the most influential thinkers in America is an inspiring how-to guide for anyone seeking real-world advancement of justice and liberty for all.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRandy Barnett is the Patrick Hotung Professor of Constitutional Law at the Georgetown University Law Center where he directs the Georgetown Center for the Constitution.
