In our current age of hyper-partisan politics, nearly everyone takes sides. This is especially true with regard to the Trump presidency, which did not cause this profound division but has drawn it to the surface, making it the dominant paradigm of political debate. Both sides scream lock 'em up, criminalizing political difference instead of making substantive criticisms of opposing views. This deeply undemocratic fallacy - that political sins must be investigated and prosecuted as criminal - is an exceedingly dangerous trend.

Repetitive
Revisado: 10-24-19
I applaud Alan Dershowitz for his interpretation and support of the law. However, the book is highly highly repetitive using the same citations over and over again making it tedious to listen to.

Necessary reading for both conservative and liberals
Revisado: 07-30-19
The book is generally well written and thought out. However, my one complaint is that it failed to mirror the concerns and bubbles of thought on the liberal side and only points out the conservative side distortion. I would argue that before there was a Facebook we have a liberal college system that creates thought bubbles and reinforces aberrant behavior. That liberal bias in itself makes it almost impossible for a Facebook to police itself or to have a government try to determine what is ‘hate speech’ and what is freedom of speech. People have biases and the best that we could possibly do is to allow freedom of speech, recognize those biases and push people back to absolute fact whenever possible.

Why we think it’s a great listen: Seabiscuit was a runaway success, and Hillenbrand’s done it again with another true-life account about beating unbelievable odds. On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared....
