Must Read: Catherine Crier's "Contempt:: How the Right Is
Wronging American Justice."

I've always enjoyed her Court TV show -- she's always seemed very sensible and straight-from-the-shoulder. I wish we had more jurists like her. Her first book had a bit too much Libertarianism in it for me (just not my cup of tea!), and too much emphasis on tort reform (a position she seems to not longer agree with, due to the abuse of the "reform"), but Judge Crier has seen the light! From Schiavo to religion in school, she rocks.

Get it from the library or read at B&N, though: creative spacing and font make this 100+ book, in reality, more of an 150 page book.

1. I like her too. She wrote a pretty interesting book on Scott
Peterson, basically calling him a sociopath. I agree with that description of Peterson.

She got on my nerves during the Clinton impeachment, but all is forgiven now!
