The U.S. justice system is a national embarrassment.
That actually understates the problem. A justice system that was an example to the world, one that pursued and prosecuted scandals without fear or favor, is now itself perhaps the greatest of all scandals in the United States.
This was never clearer than today, Thursday, as Americans awoke to news that in the United Kingdom, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former prince and favored son of Queen Elizabeth, was arrested for his apparent involvement with Jeffrey Epstein. At the same time, headlines spoke of a former Korean president getting a life sentence for leading an insurrection akin to that led by President Trump on and around January 6, 2001.
