America is now a slave to one all-powerful man

letter to the editor

Dear Editor,

How ironic. The chief custodian of our system of law in America, Chief Justice John Roberts, has personally torpedoed America’s 400-year-long system of rule of law. He did that by writing and installing a doctrine of immunity from prosecution for one single, solitary American, the President of the United States. America is now a slave to one all-powerful man rather than one all-powerful law.  

With one stroke of a pen, Mr. Roberts installed that same unhallowed system of autocracy that kept Europe in the Dark Ages for a thousand years.

As our new king installs bootlickers rather than professionals everywhere in the government, it is clear that he and his gangsters are free to commit whatever crimes against our Constitution, our ancestors and our living, breathing people that they so desire.

The people elected Donald Trump to a four-year term, but one man gifted him totalitarian power while in office. This is the “elective monarchy” our Founding Fathers and Mothers said was the worst possible form of government of all.
