"When confronted with the erudition of Justice Scalia, the first thing Professor Wood did was note his lack of credentials for legal argument."

Which is why he is a historian rather than a lawyer. It is interesting to note, however, that the legal community has an appreciation for his insight into the historical foundations of American jurisprudence.

Professor Wood being a historian does not give him credentials for you to constantly invoke him as a legal expert. He does not provide expert legal opinion.

Other than Justice Scalia and everyone who calls himself a strict constructionist.
