I doubt that most people would be shocked to learn that sometimes the influence of power can interfere with and even derail the course of justice in our legal system.

“Madison noted in a federalist paper that our Constitution is only suitable for a virtuous people.”
I believe other founders said similiar things.
“November may be our last chance.”
Amen. God have mercy on us.
Thieves elect thieves.
