Elie Mystal plays the angry liberal, and I'm here for it. Far too often only conservatives are outspoken and bottle up rage - it is refreshing to see someone building fervor on the other side of the aisle.

A great reminder of who, when, and why the constitution was written. Let's not forget that interracial marriage was illegal in Virginia until 2000, and even then, 41% of voters said no.

Elie Mystal is a lawyer that knows a lot about the constitution and the amendments.  In this book he goes over the constitution and lays out why it is wrong, how it is misinterpreted, and why things need to be changed.  This book is definitely left leaning and if you are like me, you will find yourself agreeing to everything he has to say.  I learned more about the constitution and he made me think differently on some things.  I thought that his arguments were great.  I listened to the audiobook and it was a good listen.  He seems very passionate about this topic.
