เขียนโดย Eva | 12:41

The judges should be impartial and should never get involved in politics. Right? Well, not quite, and it is "not exactly" part of this book, Francis J Donovan, The Judge Talks Politics is so interesting to read. Francis J. Donovan grew up as a poor Irish Americans in the arena of Long Iceland politics shortly after earning his law degree from the University of St. John's. During his decades of public service, he rose through the ranks from deputyDistrict attorney in Nassau County, a district court judge, 1959 to 1973. It was a successful and illustrious career, which almost never off the ground, especially since by his own admission that, "he was never told was how to play the political game." Was Donovan's problems began when he for reelection for a third term since stood as a magistrate. That they support the republican, democratic and conservative parties as well as his re-election seemed to getsecured. But there was a small problem.

Joseph Margiotti, the omnipotent head of the Republican Party on Long Iceland, demanding that he secured the agreement of the Conservatives. Donovan declined to it on the ground that this violated the Canon reject judicial ethics. He also felt that the Liberal and Conservative parties of Nassau County should be required that their power to swing the vote if necessary in order to nominate a rival party in an upcoming election. Margiotti answerDonovan's act of disobedience was quick and brutal. First he had him stricken from the Republican ticket and then he set out to remove him from office with the declaration, "it is Donovan, his family, and friends against the organization."  What ensued next, was a tough and bloody battle that Donovan won against insurmountable odds, primarily because of his dogged determination, an in depth knowledge of how the judicial system works, and a well organized network of loyal friends and Colleagues.

In many ways, the famous Margiotti vs. Donovan case was a turning point for politics in Nassau County. It was also a turning point in the career of Francis J Donovan. From this point on, he understood how the political game was played and he played the game confidently, winning one battle after another as he reached inside the system, his personal goals. The court papers say Characterization policy as to all book about Long Iceland> Politics does not do it justice. Between the covers of this compact, well-written book, a reader a snapshot of Nassau County history can be found a very important time, details of how politics really works, tips on how to analyze issues, discuss how to seek political office and much more. Do not want to discuss Whether you're looking for a casual reader or a political junkie snippets of information, politicians in general, the judge talks politics is a worthwhileto read. I strongly recommend it.
