The courts have failed us. And so have some pretty major law firms!!

Scores of grand juries convened and indicted Trump, an alarming number of Courts convened, juries were empaneled, verdicts were rendered and - Nothing!

As I write this I'm listening to the news that the Chief Justice issued a temporary pause on a lower-court order by U.S. District Judge requiring DoJ officials to bring back a 29-year-old Salvadoran immigrant who was deported despite a court order forbidding it!

I have many more (many of which I'm sure you already aware) but I'm not going to list them.

I don't recall my high school English teacher telling me that. But my logic teacher did. My history teachers all held up the courts and checks and balances on the three branches of government as the jewels in the Crown. I don't know if they would say that today.
