I agree. This is a major test of our government and the Rule of Law. If Hillary is given a pass, then we are in deep trouble as a nation. There has always been a divide between those above the law and those who must obey it, but this is so blatant and so public, it can't be hidden.

Hillary should have already been indicted along with her aides, Sullivan, Abedin, and Mills.

Adding Rod to combine my response to his post 110...

Agreed but one thing must also then be discussed.

If the political elites are blatantly outside the law and fully lawless, then where is the moral obligation for the rest of us—or any of us, to continue to obey they law?

In other words, if they can get away with it, so can we.

And if this holds to be so, then we are finished as the (classical) liberal state of all time, and Jefferson’s words are on the ash heap of history.

I do not know what then will become of America. The elites no doubt will be outraged if we attempt to be as lawless as them, which they no doubt consider it their privilege to do, but not ours, and will use force to compel us to obey.

I will not. I know many more that will not. It is a time and thinking like this that sows rebellions and revolutions. The elites cannot guarantee they will win.

A wise elite would consider allowing Hillary to get away with lawlessness a bridge too far and withdraw, forcing the law to prevail.

My fear, aside from what I’ve already addressed, is that their are no wise elites.

Maybe Trump. May he win!

If the people begin to emulate the ruling classes and ignore the law then social disintegration and anarchy inevitably follows. Next comes the reaction, which is revolution followed by repression and totalitarianism. This is human history.

The American Republic is an historical aberration and today stands at the precipice.

Despite Boehner’s demise what a depressing week. A finger-wagging Marxist Pope and his traveling Leftist Media Show who seemingly won’t shut up and go away. And now this sorry lineup of mostly second-rate losers on the “Sunday Shows.”

Lord help us.
