From the man whom Senator Ted Kennedy called an “extremist” comes a compelling and thought-provoking book about the breakdown of the judicial confirmation process and how the Democrats in the Senate will stop at nothing to destroy conservative nominees. Judge Pickering has seen this process firsthand, and his experience is a testament to his intellect, restraint, civility, patriotism, and strength of character in the face of adversity.

The Pickering nomination is a case-study in how powerful special-interest groups have been able to hijack the confirmation process, . . . and [I] find it extremely unfortunate that the politics of confirmation can turn a life well-lived upside down.

— LINDSEY GRAHAM

Charles Pickering is a brave man with an enthralling story to tell about the corruption of the Senate’s process of confirming federal judges. Pickering has a bold solution, and he makes a persuasive case for it in this highly readable book.

No one can tell this story like Judge Pickering. He lived the battle, observed the arguments, and knows the truth. He takes us behind the smoke screen to tell the real story of why liberals seek to defeat conservative judicial nominees. As a former federal judge, he understands the legal philosophies behind the partisan rhetoric and makes those agendas apparent to the reader.
