Major breaking news! This is a very, very big deal on multiple levels.
This is a great day for progressives, which in one way is a terrible condemnation of where America is at today. It should be a great day for every American regardless of political stripe.
The Supreme Court upheld the law of the land. In strong bi-partisan decisions the court unequivocally made clear that the President is not above the law. State courts can pursue their cases against the President and he can claim no special right to protection of his financial records other than those provided to any citizen of the United States.
Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh will have some explaining to do with their benefactors in the White House and Heritage Group as they shockingly voted with the majority opinion.
The curtain has been ripped away, and the terrified, frantic fraud is revealed, trembling and desperate. Unlike Baum’s character, the denouement will provide no redemption. There is no heart of gold behind the graft. There is only America’s shame, and its hope for healing.
This gives me hope. Maybe all is not lost. Maybe we do survive, even rise to a better vision of ourselves.
Come on November. We have work to do.
