RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN JUSTICE
The Nixon Rule
“When the president does it, that means
it is not illegal.” Richard Nixon
Are we prepared for what follows?
If the president is granted blanket immunity
for official acts even beyond his term as
president, what is to stop the next president
from purging the body politic of enemies and
adversaries alike?
If the next president is the man of Mar-a-Lago,
the purge will be immediate and revenge
will be ruthless.
The Department of Justice will be the president’s
personal hit squad, formulating a hit list and
taking all who oppose him out by all means
necessary, legal and illegal.
The Proud Boys could be deputized to the
dirty work of punishing demonstrators and
standing guard over voting precincts.
Truth Social could be declared the official
state media and all other media could be
sued out of existence by draconian bans on
slandering our dear leader.
There is no end to the damage our dear
leader could do to our democracy.
It is easy to lose democracy.
It is hard to get it back.
