Presidential Immunity Case Could Be the End

Once rule of law becomes meaningless in a certain country, as appears has happened here in the United States, it’s hard to plot a course for the future. Obviously, it’s not good, but how far can it go in the other way?

When the Germans lost the right to vote in the 1930s, they didn’t get it back until 1946, and the only reason they got it back at all was that the Nazis met sufficient military pressure from the Allies that they were eventually forced to surrender.

In the case of the United States 85 years later, it’s unclear where we’re going. As shown at left, the conservative justices  who were on the Supreme Court bench when Trump was elected in 2016 were joined by three new ones, and this majority, for now at least,  seems to have gotten the better of our democracy.
