Our Lost Constitution: The Willful Subversion Of America's Founding Document
Author, Senator Mike Lee ISBN 978-1-59184-777-9 216 pages, excluding citations

The book is well written and well founded. The Senator once clerked on the supreme court,
now serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee, the Armed Services Committee, the Joint
Economic Committee and has been named chairman of the Senate Steering Committee.

The book delves into the history of abuses and usurpation's of certain politicians and judges of our
past and present as they pertain to the disregard and outright disdain for the letter and spirit of the document.
Details of those that have supported, those that have distorted our Constitution and of the repercussions
of same are contained within. In his last chapter he offers suggestions on "What You Can Do to Reclaim the Constitution."

It is a good reference book for historical record and perspective. The author spends some time on
defending religious freedom, making him sound like a mystic, but his arguments are Constitutional
not religious. He may be a religious man and that may not appeal to some objectivists, but how many atheist
politicians have we had? Most of the book is devoted to powerful arguments for original intent and the
history of problems resulting from deviation, distortion and outright disrespect.

All in all, he seems like a better candidate for President than anyone running. Too bad he isn't.

I would recommend adding this book to your reading list and library.

Happy reading!
O.A.
