with in creased cheating that eventually led to a bunch of numbnuts trying to overthrow the government on Jan 6. It's all attributable to the lack of regard for playing by the rules. Nixon cheated his ass off and the party thought that was a great way to keep power.

The case for prosecuting Donald Trump
Saving American democracy for the long run requires a clear condemnation of the Trump presidency. That means making clear that no one is above the law.

Norms in a democracy are only as good as our willingness to enforce them.

After the precedent-busting, lawbreaking presidency of Donald Trump, Congress needs to pass new laws to constrain future officeholders. That’s the case the Globe has made in this series: curbs on the pardon power, safeguards against nepotism, broadening the power of Congress to investigate the president, protections for whistle-blowers, requirements that presidents make financial disclosures to root out conflicts of interest.

All of that is crucial to protect Americans against a repeat of the last four years.

Thanks for the link!

The Founding Fathers created a third branch and named it the "Judiciary" for a reason, because no one is above the law, and especially those who seek to represent and serve We The People: Letting those who commit crimes getting away with them scot free because, well, "Let's Look Forward" is nowhere in the Constitution!
