A disturbing number of senior officials in several U.S. Federal Government Departments and Agencies seem to have forgotten-if they ever knew-the story behind the words "liberty and justice for all".
Once upon a time, not all that long ago, students in their first year in public schools began the day by standing to recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, ending with the words "...with liberty and justice for all".
The original version of the Pledge, written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy, read: "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
The words, "with liberty and justice for all," recited by America's Kindergarten students, instilled a credo, a core of the nation's cultural values, into those who would, as adults, inherit the responsibility for living out the pledge made when they were children.
The words, "liberty and justice for all," while not yet a fully-accomplished promise, were taken seriously by the parents of the Baby Boomers, and many of those parents taught their children to do likewise.
Today more than a few Americans question whether senior officials in several key U.S. Federal Government Departments and Agencies remember-if they ever knew-the national story behind the words "liberty and justice for all".
Gowdy, although no longer a Republican Congressman, represents the mindset of Republicans who, like Karl Rove and Mitt Romney, think the best resolution to bring justice to the conspirators behind the three-year Trump-Russia Collusion fraud is to let history be the judge.
