Equal Justice for All *
For the privileged few
Above the law
Who commit
Crimes without consequences
An accusatory asterisk
Is appended
To the motto proclaiming
Equal Justice for All *

Equal Justice for All *
Yes!
And let us be explicit:
The ultra rich get away with it and ex president Donald John Trump May get away with it.
No. Love is stronger than hate. Trump and his buddies have tainted our culture, but Trump can be stopped now.
Let’s hope and work for this to happen.
It’s not just the “ultra rich,” as at present it’s almost reverted to prior colonial standards of only property owners and those with enough capital who have the privilege of affording legal representation and using it. The Revolutionary ideal of all men (aka individuals) being created equal didn’t include women, indentured servants, indigenous peoples, and African Americans especially as well as many others among those individuals. It is only over the past two centuries that our political and humane civic educational growth and development have created the knowledge that how we treat the least of us reflects the integrity of ourselves and our ideals in reality. Allowing the privileged to game the system and exempt themselves from civic responsibilities and justice is the true inequality here!
