Cool post. Blind(folded) and impartial are not the same things! Sometimes justice seems to cover her eyes to avoid what she doesn't want to face. Great it is when we see it for what it is!
Happy blog your blessings Sunday!
God Bless the Constitution.
I guess dumb crackers aren't extinct after all.
Yes, every now and then justice does prevail. Though sometimes it takes too long to do so, this time it didn't!
Have a happy week!
@sandy-I believe the eyes of the nation may have accomplished what justice was needed.
@hotdogman-No even close, unfortunately.
@neo-Its not over yet, but I hope the publicity will help justice prevail.
It is always a blessing when justice is served properly and without bias.
