Must we suffer justice?

Must we suffer Justice for the sake of Peace?
Must the white dove with the laurel leaves come before the lady in the blindfold with the measuring scale and the sword?
Must we give up our principles for the sake of compromise?
Must we give up our principles for the calm and the quiet?
Is this cowardice, is this bravery?
Is this the day in history that marks the death of lady Justice in our Land?

Before we pass judgement,
The Power of Absolute Pardon is IN the constitution for a reason,
and rightly so, the President has the absolute power to wield it.
It is not our place to say when and when not she will exercise it
Let us hope for the best . . .
