The Betrayal of America: How the Supreme Court Undermined the Constitution and Chose Our President
reviewed on + 5 more book reviews


On December 12th, 2000, in a 5-4 decision, the U. S. Supreme Court put an end to the recounting of presidential votes in Florida, thus assuring that George W. Bush would win the election. This action by the Court's majority, argues trial lawyer and bestselling author Bugliosi, was a "judicial coup d'tat" that stole the election from U.S. citizens and simply handed the presidency over to the Court's guy, a conservative Republican like themselves.
It was also a treasonous act.
A very eye opening book into how an election of a president can be worked through back channels that the voters have no idea about.
I very nearly had me thinking what is the point of voting anymore! But I have always been the one to tilt at windmills, so I will continue to vote.

The author, Vincent Bugliosi was not another "liberal with an agenda", he is a Republican, a former Los Angeles County prosecutor whose most famous trial was the Charles Manson case!!! He writes the essay in clear style that makes for an enjoyable read, also all of his statements are based on facts that is provided and are quite verifiable.

Buy this book and learn dear voters and lets take our country back from the Right Wingers and the Tea Partiers.
