No matter what we think of Donald Trump politically, he must be treated fairly by our justice system. Equal treatment before the law not only means that everyone is held accountable, but also that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Trump has not been proven guilty of insurrection in a court of law, and a ruling based on nothing but that opinion is stepping onto a very slippery slope.

I respect you and am glad you finally spoke out. Your treatment by the DNC is similar to this unjust ruling. Let democracy win and the people vote. Thank you 🙏🏻

The rule of law must apply to all equally, even those we despise, otherwise we simply don't have it.

Very reasoned and grounded opinion. I so wish we had politicians that would think this way as a matter of course.

Furthermore, the proper venue, The US Congress already acquitted him of violating the 14th amendment in his second impeachment proceeding. CASE CLOSED.
