‘In the halls of justice, the only justice is in the halls.’ –Lenny Bruce
More than a decade after Bill Clinton left office and Ken Starr returned to private practice, public discourse has never regained its breath. The national conversation is every bit as histrionic as it was back then. Only now, at least most of the time, there’s no equivalent scandal to sustain it.
