Summary of
OFF THE RAILS
Something extraordinary is happening in America. Everyone who follows the news today understands that the country is in the middle of some sort of legal breakdown. Why is our Congress so weak that it is effectively paralyzed? Why is our Chief Executive trying to rule illegally by personal decrees instead of with real laws? Why is the Supreme Court approving every illegal thing the Chief Executive does, and why does the Court appear to be at war with its own lower courts? What happened to the rule of law? What happened to the balance of power? Why are all three branches of government changing radically in the same direction and at the same time? Has this ever happened before in this country? Where is it going?
Off the Rails is the first and only book to point the finger at the Supreme Court as the principal cause of the current breakdown, and it is the first to conduct a detailed analysis of the Court’s rulings to determine that many are not just bad, but un-Constitutional. And more than that, they are the beginning of a regime change, a revolution.
Off the Rails is unexpected, counter-intuitive, alarming, and controversial.

— Plato
