Donald Trump’s trial and his conviction on 34 felony counts is disgraceful. As the legal expert and former Harvard Law professor, Alan Dershowitz, has argued, ‘the judge essentially instructed the jury to convict Trump.’
Biden’s America has shamefully crossed the Rubicon. The rule of law has been supplanted by the whims of elites and the machinery of power. The verdict of the jury in New York City, finding Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in a hush-money trial, calls into urgent question the integrity of the American legal system and the sanctity of democratic norms.
The perception of selective justice is only going to undermine the legitimacy of the legal system and fuel cynicism and anxiety
This courtroom drama has significance far beyond this one legal proceeding. It has become a battleground where the very ideals and institutions of American democracy have been violently shaken. Partisanship and selective justice have been marshalled by Democrats who fear more than anything else Trump’s return to the White House.
