Unjustifiable Means

Book excerpt: Unjustifiable Means is an inspirational, political, thriller for our times. The author brings to bear a progressive and Judeo-Christian perspective on todays political news. Stultifying, divisive partisanship in congress, pro-life verses pro-choice, senate filibuster reform, civil rights, gay rights, class warfare, all come under the authors discerning scrutiny. As our story begins, the U.S. Senate is evenly split, fifty Republicans and fifty Democrats. Both camps are engaged in a civil war of words and polarized ideologies over President Warners nomination of right-wing leaning John Cameron to the Supreme Court. The future of American democracy is at stake. The democrats have filibustered against Cameron for weeks. Nothing, nothing is getting done in Washington. A well-planned right-wing conspiracy to assure Camerons confirmation is hatched. Deadly consequences follow in this fast-paced twenty-four hour saga that includes mystery, suspense, and romance as it calls for tolerance, inclusiveness, compromise, courage, and faith in American politics and life.
