SOTD – Power on Trial at Last!
The path forward is narrow, demanding restraint over expedience and principle over comfort. The slow pace of justice may frustrate a culture accustomed to immediacy, but that slowness is its safeguard. Justice requires patience, discipline, and fidelity to process. In resisting the urge for premature resolution, the system preserves its legitimacy.
What is being tested is not merely a legal case, but a national promise. If upheld, the creed of justice will stand not as a myth, but as a commitment finally honored. If abandoned, the cost will not be chaos, but something worse: a quiet acceptance that power writes its own rules, and that equality before the law was never meant to be real.
