“Fascinating and necessary.”

“This book, written with a light heart and a gentle touch but a very big brain and a deep soul, might be just what’s needed to help turn the fateful tide we confront. It’s a journey that’s at once hilarious and educational. Everyone should read it.”
– Laurence Tribe, author of The Invisible Constitution, Harvard Constitutional Law professor emeritus
"Jacobs' well-researched romp carefully reckons with the Constitution’s ethical blind spots while staying consistently entertaining. U.S. history buffs will have fun with this one.”
