All of that leads us back to the question of "how can this be anything other than a perversion of justice?".
So this is the moment you lost faith in the legal system?
Interesting that the recent dissent from Gorsuch and Kavanaugh (Donzinger/Chevron) see nary a mention on here about the perversion of justice.
Is this a double-standard that we're wasting on our time on someone who is an awful human being by any measurement while ignoring someone who has truly spent part of their life serving others?
To answer your question, no. The structure of the justice system (which is good) requires an active, educated, and moral citizenry. Each of those has degraded so significantly the past decade (and will continue) that no matter how good the "structure" is, it no longer matters.
Why this is such a significant event is because of one word ....."gall". The establishment (media/press, career politicians, intelligence) has gotten away with so much purposeful malpractice without any consequences - especially in the recent past (I could cite a dozen examples off the top of my head) - that we have come to the point that indicting a former president for a legally frivolously reason is no longer off limits.
That fact alone should concern people drastically. If the establishment can take down a person because he is disliked by them, then what's to stop them from doing that to you if you are deemed not in alignment with the narrative. A great example of this is Douglass Mackey. Google him.
^^ Most people won't understand what I said above since they are absorbing what the establishment feeds without proper scrutiny.
In regards to Chevron, did the courts uphold this doctrine recently? On Chevron: Why would the court have the right to override the intentions of Congress to delegate the responsibility to interpret of unclear statutes to federal agencies. The solution is to (1) write more clear statutes, and (2) reduce administrative state, not to have the courts override adminstrative interpretation. The problem lies with Congress, not the courts.
