MixedThe Washington TimesAlthough he has a personal and professional relationship with Justice Thomas that goes back years, Mr. Magnet in his new book, Clarence Thomas and the Lost Constitution, makes his case by relying on public Thomas — published interviews and his speeches, journal articles, autobiography and pronouncements from the court ... Mr. Magnet writes with clarity, liveliness and passion, a combination which is likely to make this book a \'right on\' pleasure for those who agree with him. But that very passion leads him into excesses ... And he repeatedly launches at those with whom he disagrees pejoratives that are both nasty and needless ... Those excesses are likely to diminish the impact of Clarence Thomas and the Lost Constitution and make it a turnoff for those not already on his side.
