Powers Not Delegated
An evil alliance between Al Qaeda and Iran plots the murder of thousands of Americans.
The danger is ignored by distracted politicians more intent on subverting the Constitution in order to retain power.
Attempts to manipulate census data and impact congressional reapportionment turn into a national scandal.
Institutionalized voter fraud succeeded once; will it work again?
A legal challenge to the administration’s overt violation of First Amendment rights makes its way to the Supreme Court, itself on the verge of succumbing to Washington’s creeping corruption.
The scandals lead to inevitable criminal cover-ups that escalate to blackmail…and much worse.
Already rocked by a corrupt and disintegrating administration, the nation is paralyzed as terrorists successfully infiltrate the southern border and make their way undetected to their targets.
The government seems powerless to stop the impending mass murder.

A political novel wherein a charming and persuasive candidate for president wins the election with behind the scenes help from a foreign billionaire and an organization that launders money into the candidates coffers and arranges votes by any means they can, even the dead. Once in office the President sets about implementing, with the help of his Chief of Staff, a series of changes including the squelching of talk radio hosts and commentators that are not in line with his agenda, bailing our Chrysler and AG and putting bureaucratic hacks in charge and getting the latest census figures tweaked so as to change the counts that determine the electoral college in his favor. These along with other plots to take control of the government are met with resistance by a few in the government and out who start working to turn things around and get back to Constitutional government. This was an interesting read, and it played on much that can be seen in the way the Government operates today.

Disappointing. It was evident early on that this was very much a right-winger's ultimate fantasy. All Republicans are virtuous and patriotic; all left-wingers (including the US President in the book) are corrupt and evil and deserve what they have coming. Finished it merely to see if it was going to turn out to be as predictable as I was expecting.

Really wanted to give it 2.5. It was pretty obvious. Not much subtly in it. And the groups and people described? The author simply changed the names of people and organizations.
A bit of a let down.
