Description

Glenn Greenwald examines how the law in America has become increasingly unequal, shielding the powerful from prosecution while punishing those who are powerless. Since the country's founding, the law was intended to be a great equalizer, but over the past four decades this principle has been effectively abolished. Greenwald reveals how the media, both political parties, and the courts have contributed to a system that allows the elite to act with impunity, while ordinary people face persecution. He highlights cases such as Watergate, the Iran-Contra scandal, and Obama's shielding of Bush-era officials from prosecution, showing how this two-tiered system has produced serious abuses of power. This book is a scathing critique of a profoundly un-American system that sanctions immunity at the top and mercilessness for everyone else.
