For one, it has a summary chapter at >the end that sharpens perspective so far as the overall Cooperative >Federalism scheme is concerned. Additionally, Dale has laid text out, >added graphics, and indexed the entire work -- Masters of DeCeit has >something in excess of 260 pages. He set the page layout program up so >text runs on 2/3 of the 8 1/2 x 11 pages, then used the outside third of >each page for key conceptual statements to help with reader orientation. >The arrangement leaves plenty of room for notes and comments, which is >always important for me as I make liberal use of highlighters and column >notes when I read material of this nature. > >Thanks to Dale and several other people who provided editing assistance, >Masters of DeCeit is one of the more comprehensive efforts to address a >broad range of subjects relating to Federal law, courts, etc., as they >adversely affect the nation. Editing assistance by Dale and others made >the darned thing about half way readable -- the reader doesn't have to >be a legal scholar. > >The work is also somewhat unique in that I put five essential elements >of authority in place to provide a solid platform before addressing >individual subjects such as the character of Federal courts, the Federal >law enforcement community, Federal tax and drug laws, etc. > >An 1825 decision written by former Chief Justice John Marshall (Wayman >vs. Southard) significantly influenced the approach I took to writing >the work. Marshall was confronted with two questions: (1) What does the >Constitution authorize Congress to do, relative to Federal courts, and >(2) what has Congress done? > >In a manner of speaking, I attempted to move from constructive to >objective proofs. In other words, I focused on the second question: >"What has Congress done?" > >That was the motive behind establishing the five key authorities, >beginning with the Constitution. As I subsequently addressed each >subject, I used these five key authorities to test conclusions based on >the question, "What has Congress done?" Consequently, conclusions are >consistent. The effort provides a reasonably good working model of >Cooperative Federalism on the Federal side. > >The original offering is being reproduced by a professional photocopy >service. It's nicely bound with a plastic cover sheet over the front >cover. It's my understanding that investors have pledged funds for >general publication, but Dale wants feedback with editing suggestions >and the like before going to press with final copy. > >This is a somewhat unique situation as people who have Internet access >can download the basic text without charge, so there can be an objective >value test prior to purchase. > >Dan Meador > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ What's everyone looking at?
