b'Our judicial Zelig, Felix Frankfurter, continues to grab our spotlight as his biographer, Brad Snyder, joins us again - this time, as a sitting Justice.\\xa0 The many landmark cases that came Frankfurter\\u2019s way on the Supreme Court allow us to contrast his method of jurisprudence - be it \\u201cThayerism,\\u201d \\u201cjudicial restraint,\\u201d or something else - with originalism.\\xa0 This means that Hugo Black, Frankfurter\\u2019s colleague on the Court (it\\u2019s complicated), takes the stage as well, as we look at case after case and see how these different approaches, and their wielders, fare.'
