Justice has two faces

In the past two years I have recommended three books:

1. Backlash by Will Bunch;
2. Free Lunch by David Cay Johnston;
3. Greedy Bastards by Dylan Rattigan.

I now add:

4. The Price of Justice by Laurence Leamer.

It's the true story of how people with money get a different type of justice than people without and it reads like a great legal thriller.

Well-researched and precise in detail, The Price of Justice is a long read, but worth every minute and it should be must-reading for every legislator and political candidate. Anyone who helped pass "Citizens United" should read it.

I truly believe you are missing out if you don't read these books.

The Price of Justice is not a fun, beach read. It's a serious examination about how people with money can try to buy the law and then tell you how to live. That's too dangerous a path for this country to take.

Six definitions of hypocrite

1. A Democrat or Republican who criticizes  someone from the opposite party for unethical, illegal, or criminal behavior, and then makes excuses when someone from his or her own party does the same thing.

2. A Reformer whose only act of reform is getting himself or herself elected.

3. A Conservative whose only act of conservation is not paying taxes.

4. A pro-life zealot who believes that abortion is murder and then kills a doctor who performs one.

5. A philanthropist who donates money to his or her house of worship, that he or she earned by taking advantage of others.

6. A pro-gun supporter who argues about his or her second amendment rights, but thinks nothing of the other amendments.
