To: Leaning Right

Just the publicly available info on her crimes is not only indictable, but mandates a conviction.

In the royal court of Versailles, the Bourbons reigned supreme, untroubled by the obvious great and growing inconsistencies of the law as it was practiced in France at the time. Almost any conviction could be imposed or reversed, depending on the amount of wealth transferred and/or the family connections of the parties involved. “Justice” was pretty much a negotiable commodity.

This all came to a screeching halt with the outbreak of the French Revolution, which resulted in deposing the French monarchy and carrying out of the previously unthinkable act of regicide. From ragged and lopsided application of the legal system, things rapidly descended into anarchy and almost total unaccountability on the part of the rebels.

Recovery from this state of anarchy was a slow, painful and very bloody chapter in the history of France. And only briefly did France ascend to being a major party in contention for international domination, so sink, finally, into the mediocrity that exists there today.

Is this the fate of that territory once known as “the United States of America”?
