I think unfortunately some great ideas are coming out of the mouth of a figure who makes himself incredibly unlikable and may ultimately backfire in the court of public opinion (e.g. Al Gore, Assange). [I say unlikable because the sourcing seems dubious, the author talks about himself too much, and there's something too emotional and insufficiently analytical about his style]

However maybe it's good these points are out there. For the severity of Nixon's crimes (attempted destruction of democracy) how are the most severe charges not appropriate (i.e. death)? It really does stink of a fundamentally broken system.
