Backbone

Posted 1:30 PM by Gerald So

The conservative-stacked U.S. Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 that a President has immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts. Without wading through the logic that's supposed to be used to define official acts, let me say being a good person, doing good, wouldn't be in that legal gray area.

Even the best system can let us down. It's up to us as individuals to keep a true sense of right and wrong, to hold ourselves responsible. I believe most people do. If we didn't, the world would be a whole lot worse.

Donald Trump has said he takes no responsibility for himself or his followers. Where does he answer to the public for his conduct? At the polls. We voted him down in 2020 and we can do it again.
