I’m a Portland medical malpractice lawyer advocating for patients and their families. I’ve been a political junkie since the early 1970s when I had my first paper route and started reading about the Vietnam war everyday.

Agree with the acting as well. Conniving and vain indeed. But I guess what else might we expect from a Senator from New York in 1880?
I thought Matthew MacFadyen's performance as Guiteau was Oscar (Emmy?) worthy. That scene where he meets Garfield was superb.

Could very well be. My problem with the case was where the decision gets made whether someone was involved in an insurrection. The Civil War was easy. We still have the muster rolls.
Giving the decision to Republican state legislators, or Secretaries of State, is indeed a slippery slope.
