Features: The Federalist was completed four days after the U.S. Senate's acquittal of President Clinton in the impeachment trial. Like his other works, it has caused immense impact, controversy, and even shock in the United States. This book criticizes all parties involved in the entire event, raises the professional, ethical, and legal responsibilities of the social roles played by different parties, and prompts the American public and intellectual community to reflect on the occurrence and handling of the entire event. One of the parties involved in this event, then Chairman of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee Henry Hyde, engaged in a long and enjoyable academic discussion with Judge Posner for this book.
