His first book was Holy Hullabaloos.
I've read a lot of entertaining travelogues and informative studies
of Supreme Court cases, but never at the same time. Think Sarah
Vowell's Assassination Vacation meets Peter Irons' The Courage of
Their Convictions. Thank God for Holy Hullabaloos.—Pamela Karlan,
founding director of the Supreme Court Litigation Clinic at
Stanford University
"Religion and politics are the two things we are not supposed to
talk about. Jay Wexler does—with deadpan humor. We need to tone
down the anger over these issues, and he shows the way."—Alan
Wolfe, author of Does American Democracy Still Work?
"The sharpest, the most insightful, the most side-splittingly funny
book on law since—Supreme Courtship!" —Christopher Buckley, author
of Supreme Courtship and Thank You For Smoking
"A fascinating and frequently funny journey through many of the
sites of the greatest church and state squabbles in modern American
history."—Barry Lynn, author of Piety & Politics
