  abstract = {<p>Adrian Vermeule has achieved something remarkable. His short volume Common Good Constitutionalism has created a veritable cottage industry in jurisprudence as well as constitutional and political theory;1 that industry{\textquoteright}s products range from dire warnings about authoritarianism to adulation of what Vermeule himself calls a {\textquotedblleft}ressourcement of the fundamentals of the classical Western legal tradition.{\textquotedblright} In fact, Vermeule, as an intellectual, has become an object of unusual fascination: which other law professor generates speculation about the meaning of his religious conversion, which other law professor is subject to extensive, often vitriolic controversy on social media{\textemdash}and keeps controversy going through posts that can only be described as learned forms of trolling and triggering? And which other contemporary theorist has dismissed so many criticisms with a disdainful gesture of claiming that hardly anyone truly understands him?</p>},
