The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution - Kevin Gutzman (3 of 5 Coniving Supreme Court Justices)

Same deal as the other politically incorrect guide. I got through almost all of this book at the copy machine. I would have finished it all, but one of the CDs wasn't working.

Like the other one it started off being interesting, but it quickly got old and I had to push myself to get through it. The book attempts to show that the laws of the United States are not quite as idealistic as we all hope they would be. Using several examples from the foundation of the nation to the present, Gutzman shows that the evolution of law in the United States was heavily influenced by the personal interests of the supreme court justices. Simply put, it left a bad taste in my mouth for government. If this is what you're looking for, have at it.
