Scott Gilmore: It took 244 years, but his rebellious colonies have finally come back to embrace an authoritarian monarchy
The Senate Trial of Donald J. Trump is now all but over. Only two Republican Senators voted to call witnesses, ensuring the motion would not pass and guaranteeing the President’s acquittal.
The United States broke from Britain and built a republic based on the principle there should be three distinct and equal branches of government: the judiciary, the legislature and the executive. For over two tumultuous centuries, this idea was respected. America grew from a messy collection of feuding colonies to the most powerful nation on earth, all the while balancing the three branches, each checking the failures and abuses of the other two.
And, presiding over it all, a quiet chief justice, appointed by Republicans and trusted by them to not raise any concerns when they openly did everything possible to ensure there were no witnesses, little evidence, and most importantly of all, no justice. The revenge of King George III took 244 years, but it is here. His rebellious colonies have abandoned their revolutionary ideas of republicanism and come back to embrace an authoritarian monarchy.
