Trump Will Face Justice for Assaulting the Rule of Law Only if He Loses in November

“The Donald Trump experience tests our secular faith almost beyond the breaking point. He stands criminally convicted in New York for making hush-money payments to a porn star to affect the outcome of the last election but won’t be sentenced until after the election (if even then). His other criminal trials in Georgia (to thwart the certification of the state election), Florida (for illegally whisking away highly classified documents to Mar-a-Lago), and Washington D.C. (for attempting to prevent the peaceful transfer of power) have been interminably delayed. Trump has managed to convert the idea of due process — the crown jewel of the rule of law — into a weapon of destruction, laying waste to the concept of justice that undergirds our legal system’s structures. And yet there is hope. The rule of law can’t save us from Trump; for that, we must rely on the elections.” (09/30/24)
