Title: A disappointment
Review: This book degenerates into Posner taking political potshots at Democrats while portraying Republicans and Starr as the saviors of the free world. Posner makes me wonder whether he could be an unbiased judge. I'd hate to be a Democrat before his court. How he got the reputation as a fine jurist is beyond this reader. I think Posner's goal with this book is to generate interest in getting him nominated for the Supreme Court should a Republican get elected President. But by suggesting that Nixon should not have faced impeachment, I think he goes off the deep end. For anyone interested in an unbiased look at impeachment (written prior to the Clinton affair), read Gerhardt's The Federal Impeachment Process. Posner relies on it himself and is strongest when he does.
Is the review positive or negative?
