Absolutely. Currie is great. He's written a series of books on "The Constitution in Congress." He also has two volumes on the Supreme Court. If you do a search here, I've probably got three or four posts discussing him.
Have saved a number of Currie's works myself. Good stuff! I suppose it would be too much to ask that others check out his work.

Just to bring this old thread back to the front for those who haven't seen it.
