Denis J. Connolly was employed, as a research engineer and middle manager, at NASA's Glenn Research Center from 1961 to 1997.  He received a Ph. D., in engineering, from Case Western Reserve University in 1971.   During his NASA career, Connolly authored a long list of research papers which were published in various technical media.

      Several decades of observation and casual analysis had made Mr. Connolly aware of a dirty little secret.  Our much celebrated "rule of law" has degenerated into a pervasive scam designed to take major political decisions away from elected officials accountable to "We The People" and place them in the hands of a tiny minority of legal elites.  So, in early 1997, Connolly decided to retire from his career in the physical sciences and devote his time and energy to a new project.  He decided to write a book exposing the dirty little secret.

      In early 2000, Connolly published The Temple of Karnak: How Rogue Judges Have Been Strangling Your Democracy.  At this time, a single copy can be obtained without cost on the Internet.
