From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
From Screwed:
"I think many of us recognize that for all but the wealthiest, life in America is getting increasingly hard. Screwed explores why, showing how this is no accidental process, but rather the product of conscious political choices, choices we can change with enough courage and commitment. Like all of Thom’s great work, it helps show us the way forward."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
Thom needs to get a better argument from Thomas Jefferson about judicial review than the letter to Spencer Roane. I just can't believe that it took Jefferson 16 years to get around to writing anything about a Supreme Court case that concerned his own government. And sure, he uses Marbury v. Madison as an example of his opinion, but he does not say in the letter what judicial act his opinion concerns. We need Roane's prior letter to Jefferson to be sure.
