This is the most consequential election of my lifetime.

"So what happens if the President of the United States gets a speeding ticket?"

Though it has been a while, I can remember, in high school history and government classes, asking the impossible, most extreme scenario questions about government, the Constitution and government leaders, and having teachers reassure us that the extremes were possible because the Constitution is law that limits the extent and power of government, but that they were very unlikely because the safeguard was always the voter and the ballot box, and the fact that the government can be changed by the people over a very short period of time, if they so choose.

Of course, the President does not drive, which prevents his getting a speeding ticket. But there was never a real answer about what would happen if a President committed a crime, because the assumption was that a President would be someone with the kind of integrity not to have to worry about it.

And now, in just a few short years, as I approach the end of my educational career, we are facing an election in which one of the candidates has a criminal record, had a record of fraud, corruption and both business and moral bankruptcy long before he ever ran for office, and when he finally succeeded in getting elected, incited a riot to attempt to overturn an election, committed crimes on his way out like stealing classified documents, and in spite of all of that, was nominated by a major political party and is running again, this time with the goal of achieving immunity granted by a corrupt and paid-off Supreme Court, three of whose justices he appointed himself.

It's the American nightmare no one ever imagined.

1. And there are no ethics rules for SCOTUS

Because the farmers assumed that only "men" of good character would ever rise to that exalted place.

Many lessons learned here, but what we do about it is the challenge.

2. If we get the opportunity to do something about it.

We will need the Presidency, the Congress and enough members of the Senate willing to break the damn filibuster to amend the judiciary act, pack the court and neutralize the conservatives to get ethics rules in place. I don't know if we're going to get that.

3. The Dems Need To Prepare Their Own Project 2025 Only Theirs Should Be Designed To Address....

all the loopholes in our laws and constitution that Tr**p and the Repugs exploited and broke - so that we don't ever have to face another Tr**pl like criminal that escapes accountability like he has.
