Neal Katyal served as Acting Solicitor General of the United States (the government’s top courtroom lawyer). He has argued 39 cases before the Supreme Court, more than any minority attorney in U.S. history. He teaches law at Georgetown University and is a partner at a law firm where he leads one of the largest U.S. Supreme Court practices in the nation. He is a frequent contributor to MSNBC and the New York Times and has appeared on virtually every major American news program. No one is above the law. This belief is as American as freedom of speech and turkey on Thanksgiving—held sacred by Democrats and Republicans alike. But as Neal Katyal argues in Impeach: The Case Against Donald Trump (Mariner Books) that if this President is not held accountable for repeatedly asking foreign powers to interfere in the 2020 presidential election, this could very well mark the end of our democracy. To quote President George Washington’s Farewell Address: “Foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government.” Impeachment should always be our last resort, explains Katyal, but our founders, our principles, and our Constitution leave us with no choice but to impeach President Trump—before it’s too late. The Washington Post called it “As concise and evenhanded a summation of the accusations currently weighing on the president (and the nation) as one can find between two covers.”
