Rule of Law based on real life inspiration

  Part 2 of an interview with Randy Singer, Author of Rule of Law Read part 1 of the interview here. Inspired by real events involving American contract workers detained in Yemen, Singer wrote Rule of Law to address what he describes as critical issues lurking on the horizon. “Is the president above the law in matters of foreign policy?” Singer asks. “Should the CIA be fighting shadow wars with drones and special forces in countries where we have not declared war? What happens when the lives of service members are sacrificed for political gain?” To avoid getting bogged down in political polarization, Singer assures readers his fictional president, cabinet and Supreme Court bear little resemblance to the current administration and Court. He does, however, anchor the story in reality with historical references — political, military and legal — based on actual events. He also has great respect for the sacrifices made by the Navy SEALS and their families, some of whom a...

Dead Lawyers Tell No Tales

Today I bring you a review of  Dead Lawyers Tell No Tales by Randy Singer About the book: Landon Reed is an ex-quarterback convicted of organizing a points-shaving scheme.
