"Few people have viewed American government from so many angles as Tom Campbell. As a five-term Congressman and a California state senator, he learned what the states and the federal government each do best, and what Congress, the executive branch and the courts each do best. With erudition and vivid case studies, he has drawn his political experience into a rich and insightful volume of essays on the separation of powers. No book so learned in the law has ever looked at the comparative advantages of each branch of government through the lens of such lived experience." --Kathleen M. Sullivan, Dean, Stanford Law School
