Moderate white liberals please read this book. And everyone else too.

Mystal is concise and funny and discards that shield of reverence - he allows us to question the founders of the country many hold in such high esteem for what they actually did or created. With Mystal, you will examine the evidence and not just thoughtlessly pledge allegiance.

Particularly enlightening is the abortion discussion. I once thought i was the defective one for not really understanding how the right to access medical care was so complicated. Turns out it was the Constitution that's defective. He makes a case for abortion with three different amendments so simply and shows how the Roe and Casey failed in their backdoor efforts to concede a few rights to women while still denying us so much. 

"If i seem flippant about the whole thing, it is because the legal argument that a fetus has a legal status on par with the woman to whom it is literally attached is illogical trash sprinkled with bad faith and misogyny."

He says flat out that the founding document is trash and i love that, honestly. None of that moderate or centrist faux civility that hides a reluctance to fight white supremacy with this book! 

"Conservatives talk about abortion like they're on a righteous crusade to stop a baby holocaust, while male liberals talk about it like they're embarrassed and sorry someone knocked up the cheerleader, but now here we are." 

There's also a great/honest discussion of originalism, gerrymandering, voting rights, and sameness vs equality. Mystal breaks down what can be a complex legal morass in simple witty language with some Star Trek and Game of Thrones pop culture references for good measure.
