America’s Woke Institutions Losing Credibility

 

Not too long ago, if you read about a letter signed by over 100 legal scholars opining on the impeachment of the president, you would give significant credence to such a missive. No more.

 

If you grew up in America decades ago you were raised with a sense of reverence for those who headed the nation’s major institutions, from academia, to medical and legal institutions, to the military, and to hard-working independent journalists who stood for truth and justice. When leaders within these prestigious paragons of virtue spoke, we listened. For the most part, we believed what they said, because we thought their motives were pure and their knowledge was superior. Their words provided a sense of comfort and direction.

 

But over the past year we have witnessed prominent members of these institutions set forth ridiculous, hypocritical, unfounded, partisan, ideologically driven statements on the woke issue of the day.

 

The aforementioned statement issued by 100 legal scholars claimed that any defense presented by former President Trump’s impeachment defense that centered on the issue of free speech was to be discounted and should be deemed frivolous.

 

This statement was so outlandish that even long-time liberal attorney and Harvard professor of ethics and constitutional law, Alan Dershowitz, admonished the signatories for their abandonment of the very principles our nation was founded upon.

 

In fact, the First Amendment argument is the very reason that Trump could not be held responsible for the rogue action of the people at his rally, who took the law into their own hands. There was absolutely no language tied to Trump whereby he told individuals to storm and seize the Capitol.
