Summary: Excellent examination of Impeachment & Clinton's problems
Comment: An excellent summation of the proper role of Impeachment in the American constitutional republic and an excellend indictment of the impeachable crimes of William Jefferson Clinton.
Far too many reviewers I've seen here have tried to make a connection between the constitutional process of impeachment and a judicial proceeding when there is no connection. Impeachment, a Ms. Coulter correctly points out, is a political process. The only possible punishment that can result from a conviction as a result of impeachment is removal from office and a bar against holding any office of trust under the United States. This does not stop later criminal prosecution (or criminal prosecution prior to impeachment as has been carried out against several federal judges), but it does cleanse the political process of a blemish on the body politic.
One particular point that Ann Coulter points out in her book is that private misbehavior is an impeachable offense as the Founding Fathers saw it. This is a position I have held during this entire Clinton ordeal. What a ridiculous idea that somehow the American public expects to have a liar and adulterer in the Oval Office and still expect him to make wise and correct decisions? Only an immoral public could come to such a conclusion.
An excellent treatise. Well written and well documented. A must read for all Americans who believe that there should be accountibility in our public officials.

Summary: Finally - an intelligent voice emerges
Comment: My wife recommended this book to me and, I must admit, it is the MOST astute analysis of the Clinton impeachment saga that I have ever read. Ann Coulter (who I had never heard of before reading this book) describes the founding fathers' rationale for impeachable offenses in a way that finally explains why Nixon could have been found subject to impeachment (depending on what the President knew and when he knew it), and why Clinton MUST be found impeachable (being the sole instigator of impeachable actions). This thoughtful, considered, and factual analysis is a far cry from Col. Cornball Carville's highly touted "And the Horse He Came In On", which simply attempts to outshout the opposition with blatently false and probably liable (definitely lie-able) accusations. Congratulations to Ann Coulter. I have since learned that she has often appeared on Rivera Live, and I am certain that I will soon know much more about her than I did before reading this book. Thank goodness there are some thinking people left in America!

Summary: Partisan but powerful
Comment: The author, and the publisher, are aggressively conservative, and if you've seen Coulter on the talk show circuit recently (how could you not?) you have no doubt where she stands on the Clinton administration (firmly against). What we get here is more of the same. A lot more.
Coulter's forceful argument for impeachment is unlikely to leave any reader sitting on the fence. It will harden those convinced he has to go, and even his most ardent supporters would be hard-pressed to ingest this 300+ page indictment and continue to insist that Clinton's detractors have "nothing" on him.
The first third of the book covers the Lewinski affair; the remainder--Whitewater, Filegate, the travel office firings, IRS audits, campaign finance issues, *ad nauseum*--take up the remaining 200 pages, with varying degrees of persuasiveness. But even the weakest arguments, frequently compared directly to the articles of impeachment drafted against Richard Nixon, nonetheless demand thoughtful consideration. Her book isn't the last word, but the issues it raises belong in the debate.
The rhetoric here is at times irritatingly repetitive and unrepentantly abrasive, and nobody is likely to agree with everything she says. But love her or hate her, Coulter has done her homework, her notes are copious, and her conslusions damning.
It's a quick read, ably written and extensively documented. It's important to consider both sides of an issue as wrenching as impeachment, and this book asks questions that the U.S. Congress may be asked to consider in the days and months ahead.
Even so, this book is to the presidency what "Saving Private Ryan" is to war--at times graphic, brutal and hard to stomach. I came away from this book feeling more than a little queasy. It's not a pretty read.
But as the scandalous headlines show no sign of abating and the sound-bite debate on the talking head shows produces more indigestion than understanding, this book demands not only awareness, but consideration. Read it, read the arguments of Clinton's supporters, then make up your own mind.
