Then they did what they said they would do.”\u003c\/p\u003e So ends the first chapter of this brilliantly readable counterfactual novel, reminding us that America’s Christian fundamentalists have been consistently clear about their vision for a \"Christian Nation\" and dead serious about acquiring the political power to achieve it. When President McCain dies and Sarah Palin becomes president, the reader, along with the nation, stumbles down a terrifyingly credible path toward theocracy, realizing too late that the Christian right meant precisely what it said. \u003cp\u003eIn the spirit of Philip Roth’s \u003cem\u003eThe Plot Against America\u003c\/em\u003e, one of America’s foremost lawyers lays out in chilling detail what such a future might look like: constitutional protections dismantled; all aspects of life dominated by an authoritarian law called “The Blessing,” enforced by a totally integrated digital world known as the \"Purity Web.\" Readers will find themselves haunted by the questions the narrator struggles to answer in this fictional memoir: \"What happened, why did it happen, how \u003cem\u003ecould\u003c\/em\u003e it have happened?\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Norton, W.
