Is no one above the law?
We have had that pounded into our heads for our entire lives. In America, no one is above the law. In our democracy, every person that is charged with a crime is guaranteed a trial by their peers.
But now, we have come to a time where we must confront that very question.
If we cannot confront that existential question, then what is the future of American democracy?
America was shocked to its core when it was attacked on January 6th, 2021. It grew even worse when it was discovered that there was a conspiracy to overthrow our government and the will of the voters of this country.
It was obvious to many from the beginning that the act of sedition and conspiracy was the evil creation of none other than the former president and his criminal cohorts. His insatiable desire to hold onto power and his dangerous ego was unprecedented in its scope.
Now, our democracy must decide. Can we remove the cornerstone of our legal system and expect our democracy to still survive?
