Impartial Justice

"I solemnly swear
(or affirm, as the case may be,)
that in all things appertaining to
the trial of the impeachment of Donald J. Trump,
now pending, I will do
impartial justice
according to the Constitution and laws:
so help me God."

This was the oath taken by all Senators
 before the impeachment trial began.

But the oath begs the question...

Is
impartial justice
even
possible
in these
​divided times?

It's likely that
the votes will be
split along party lines
in the Senate... 
just as they were
in the House.

Justice
is meant to be
blind,
but we keep
wearing those
red and blue
tinted glasses
as a nation.

Where does that
leave the truth?

What does
impartial justice
look like?

Stay tuned...

Whatever the outcome
of the impeachment trial,
we're going to need a lot of
purple thinking
to move beyond it
together,
as
one nation.
