Letter: Luck is on his side

Published: 07-08-2024 3:50 PM

Here it’s happened: Donald Trump has the luck of a Satan’s child. The U.S. Supreme Court that, between Mitch McConnell as past Senate speaker, and President Donald Trump, got packed with majority conservatives, lets Trump immediately escape law. This Court of his sends the precedent-setting case back to the federal trial judge. It should determine official acts v. unofficial acts by Trump on January 6, 2021. Capitol Building attack-day by Trump supporters. Time is on Trump’s side. Nothing will be decided before November’s election.

At a Plymouth State University Sidore Lecture in the past, history professor Robert Blum told his audience that “history is made of surprises.” Still lots of room for surprises with our upcoming election. There’s what’s happening in our USA-world, and (not to forget) what’s happening in the larger world. For my children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and all their planetary peers, I hope for sanity and justice.
