Just Mercy…
A few days ago, I read this quote by Rep Trey Gowdy, SC during the grilling of the FBI Director, James Comey, that made me laugh out loud. Don’t get me wrong, I think what Secretary Clinton did was grossly negligent but the hypocrisy of politicians gets to me. He said:
“My real fear is a double tracked justice system that is rightly or wrongly perceived in our country as this: if you are a private citizen in the Army and you email yourself classified information, you will be kicked out. But if you are Hillary Clinton and you seek a promotion to commander-in-chief, you will not be.”
Really? A double-track justice system? It already exists!
There is the system for the wealthy and a system for the poor. A system for whites and one for minorities. That latter system may ensnare more minorities usually but it is color-blind in it’s ferocity to deny justice to the poor! If you fall in trouble and have to depend on a public defender, forget about justice!
Don’t believe me? Get the book “Just Mercy” by Bryan Stevenson, an attorney some have described as the “American Mandela”. It will break your heart and change your life. It did mine.
