A Life for Liberty

Randy Barnett

"Law professors with a strong commitment to liberty and the Constitution are all too rare. That's right, I said it. Randy Barnett has walked the walk as well as talked the talk. In this book, he shows how it's done."

-Mark Levin, author ofLiberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto

"Randy Barnett is in a category by himself. His pioneering contrarianism made it acceptable to believe that the Court should side with liberty against encroachments by both state and federal government."

-Rand Paul, US Senator (R-KY), author ofThe Case Against Socialism

From prosecuting murderers in Chicago, to arguing before the Supreme Court, to authoring more than a dozen books, Georgetown University law professor Randy Barnett has played an integral role in the rise of originalism-the movement to identify, restore, and defend the original meaning of the Constitution. Thanks in part to his efforts, by 2018 a majority of sitting Supreme Court justices self-identified as "originalists."

After 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 Gonzeles v. Raich in the Supreme Court-a case now taught to every law student. Later, he devised and spearheaded the constitutional challenge to Obamacare. called him.
