Justice and the American Temperament

There is concern as to what Special Council John Durham can (or will be permitted to) accomplish in his investigation. More specifically, there is a palpable sense of urgency that the culpable be held to account. The audacious and egregious, even criminal acts, perpetrated by the elite of our ruling class, intelligence agencies, military, media, social networking sites, et al – often in seeming coordination – feel indicative of systemic decay, and the players, like a necrotizing bacterium that has evolved resistance to our most potent antibiotics. They are the upper tier "untouchables". My expectation is that Clinton campaign attorney, Michael Sussman, will, in the extreme, endure brightly reddened wrists, despite being one of too many lawyers who should be confronting bars that cannot be passed (Kevin Clinesmith being another case in point). One could be forgiven for thinking that, with regard to the U.S. Constitution, these are a “people apart” – “AMINOs”, if you will: Americans In Name Only. They flout the rules, our laws, and basic morality with seeming impunity, and therein lies the rub. The belief that there will be no justice, no commensurate level of accountability, has altered the American personality. Where there was once passing anger, there is now a perpetual state of low-level rage, and perhaps, for the unstable among us, a yearning to personally exact “justice”. The danger is obvious, even to us, the lowly citizenry.
