The great movements for justice and equality over the past
half-century have demonstrated that a legitimate moral imperative can confront
and conquer unjust laws. That law is not the final arbiter of social justice.
Senators have all taken an oath to seek justice, and we will
soon see whether is justice under the law or justice of moral integrity. Will
witnesses be called to seek the truth, or will the Senate dance around legal
games and ambiguities? Will Senators give up their personal integrity to cowtow
to Mitch McConnell? Will Senators put Party above all else to save a President
who has indicted himself in his own words and has disgraced the Presidency.
Republicans talk about this being a partisan process; but it
takes the commitment of two sides to create partisanship. Republicans claim the
people elected Trump, when the people chose Hillary and the Electoral College
chose Trump. Republicans use all kinds of procedural maneuvers to deflect from
the core truth.
Trump will undoubtedly be acquitted, but I hope he will continue
to tried and convicted in the court of public opinion. And I am certain history
will give him his due.
