Russian meddling

We reasonably concern ourselves with Russian efforts to undermine American democracy.

But consider this.
The Supreme Court consistently dispenses justice by partisan vote after partisan vote.
The justice system is still tilted toward privileged whites who can afford high-end lawyers. It’s a system where justice is just one option.
The legislative branch is led by a President of marginal character and moral stature, who believes the law has no relevance to him.
The Congress is too mired in partisanship, power struggles, special interests and money raising to pass urgently needed legislation.
Citizens are ill-informed and vote in embarrassingly low numbers.


Do we even need the help of the Russians.
