I found this book fascinating. The information was very enlightening even if at times somewhat sarcastic. The book displays what so many people believe, but very few can put their finger on. There is a process in this country in which power is dispersed politically, financially and socially, and its not a process that the common man can readily grasp without, in many cases, falling prey to the process. Attorneys either through politics, lobbying or legal process guard and manipulate the disbursement of power for the benefit of themselves and their clients; and the greatest manipulations go to the greatest power players from all walks of life. Crier attacks both liberals and conservatives. To me she proved political persuasion is really nothing more than what special interest you want your dollar to to got to. Futhermore, law, as it is practiced today is form over substance. It is not necessarily right verus wrong as integrity would dictate, but what loophole can most effectively sidetrack, insuniate, or delegate accusation and outcome perceived by the attorney to most help their cause. Its in the head games of legal process that the attorney has the advantage over the lay person. People believe in most cases if they play by the rules they can get ahead, and attorneys want to foster this belief. Laywers realize if they are not winning they can just change the rules, and furthermore they realize most people really didnt know the rules to begin with. After reading this book it is easier to recognize the political chess games that politicians play in this country on both sides of the fence, and if you benefit or suffer from the current system the scope of information this book highlights will dicate your paradim in filtering political events today.
