Statuary of Lady Justice abound about local, state, federal judiciary edifices. Justitia has its origins in Roman and Greek mythology (Themis). Displayed with scales to allude to balance, blindfolded to indicate impartiality. America is purported to be a nation following rule of law.
It matters not political affiliation, equal justice under law is the mantra. Well, almost. If you are a hated former president who has classified documents under lock and key, protected by Secret Service officers, under perceived or contrived blatant disregard to NARA edicts, your home will be raided by armed stormtroopers, you will be indicted for offenses too numerous to list.
The totally different situation, we’re told, is of the sitting president’s classified documents strewn haphazardly in several unsecure locations, some documents held illegally by said president. No armed raiders appeared, no indictments ensued; further, prosecution initiated by the special counsel dropped because said president was not cognitive enough to stand trial.
Activists have been tearing down the wrong statues.
