About the book

Argues that as the pillars of the American legal system are crumbling, so too is the American democracy. Explains how the 2000 presidential election was only the first sign that justice is now driven by party politics. Geoghegan notes how even lawyers are becoming disillusioned with the law, as federal cases are increasingly determined by whether they are heard by a Bush-appointed judge or a Clinton-appointed judge, and ultimately contends that the sense of disorder in our legal system has never been greater, and we may no longer have the basic civic trust necessary to preserve the rule of law.
