19. I see it this way:
There would be justice, even if not the legal kind that ends in a prison term.

None of those people would ever have real jobs again, because even Corporate America would shun them for fear of damaging the "company name." They won't have friends except for each other--and I wouldn't call that "friendship," as it will become a series of pointed fingers and accusations about who was most at fault. They will lose all power, influence, and their "legacies" will become a source of national shame and rage. They will be ostracized to the extreme, shredded by the media, hounded by reporters, inundated with letters of rage and betrayal. They won't be able to walk down a street without being spit upon or cursed at. They will basically be prisoners in their own homes, revered only by a few psychotic nutcases who think torture is A-Okay, and despised by 99% of the world.

Oh, there would be justice. Justice isn't always found in the courtroom, after all.

And the ultimate justice for the American people would be found in the effects: no more GOP fascism, no more neoconservative warmongering, no more "Moral Majority." They would have nothing left save for the knowledge that they destroyed their own lives.

Frankly, I'd be shocked if any of them survived more than a few years of that kind of "justice" before giving up and taking a big leap off the nearest interstate bridge.
