Even if the Senate acquits Benedict Donald in his second impeachment trial, Jamie Raskin is going to make sure that no other President does what Trump did again.
Team Raskin was brilliant, not just with the disturbing 13-minute video they showed of the Trump riot but also with the Raskin family's experience of it. "Dad, I don't want to come back to the Capitol," his adult daughter told him. That, America, is what we've lost.
Who knows if any future autocrat or despot will be swayed by the condemnation of history? It seems like a weak deterrent for somebody bent on total power. But in the meantime, the House impeachment managers' goal is clear: Trump must be a pariah for all time.
We might have to settle for that — but maybe not. Maybe there's another Bill Cassidy out there. Maybe an injured police officer's family will sue. Maybe the state of Georgia will charge Trump with election tampering. There can be a number of paths to justice. We cats PURR.
