We'll see.

The thing about the law in the US, it's slow and heavy. You'll need to be pretty mighty to move it if it catches up to you.

I would have agreed years ago, but seeing trump - who obviously should be in prison for January 6th, among other crimes - back in the WH pretty much proves the US is not a nation of laws.

  • It's worse. SCOTUS says he's immune to any law while POTUS meaning he can have people commit crimes on his behalf and then pardon them (or simply commit them himself). See the 1/6 insurrectionists.

  • Voters elected an abuser and now we're being abused.

    This is what happens with the authoritarian faction, present in all societies, wins an election. The people who stand for the Constitutional order didn't do enough. Whether they weren't sufficiently positive persuasive or negatively persuasive, here we are with President Psycho in office.

    The law didn't fail. Order didn't fail. The self-governed, the people, failed to support and defend the Constitution.

Supreme court gave Trump a pass on all his crimes. We have already seen. No more waiting is necessary to find out.
