Donald Trump is eroding the rule of law! We've heard it said many
times, and we can feel it in our guts. But what does "rule of law"
really mean? And what happens when it breaks down? From Richard
Painter, a senate candidate and law professor who served as White
House chief ethics counsel under President George W. Bush, and New
York Times bestselling author Peter Golenbock, American Nero is an
in-depth exploration the rule of law—the legal bedrock on which
this country was founded. Painter and Golenbock present a clear
description of rule of law—arguably the single most important
principle underlying our civilization. They also describe the
abuses of power that have occurred throughout our nation's history.
Beginning in Puritan New England with the infamous Salem Witch
Trials, American Nero makes vivid stops at The Red Scare of the
1920s, Japanese-American internment, the McCarthy Era, and, much
more recently, President Trump's attempt to violate the First
Amendment by banning Muslims from entering the US. While Trump is
not the first offender, he is arguably the most blatant, and this
unflinchingly honest and insightful work presents in devastating
detail the ways in which our current president has trampled the
rule of law with his attacks on the freedom of the press, the
independence of the judiciary, and the autonomy of the justice
department. This is not a book about right vs. left —instead, it
is about the rule of law, a principle that transcends partisan
politics, and how vital it is to the survival of our country. This
book serves as a call-to-action, looking ahead to a brighter future
for our country, one where citizens and officials alike protect our
rights and honor their responsibilities. Timely and revealing,
American Nero shares the lessons of history and lays the framework
for returning to a society that respects the rule of law—an
America that is consistent with our Founding Fathers' vision of a
genuinely free nation.
