Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., signed a petition Wednesday to force a House vote on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein, giving it the needed 218 signatures.
Grijalva was sworn in as the newest member of Congress on Wednesday, more than seven weeks after she won a special election in Arizona to fill the House seat last held by her late father.
I hope a lot of people wake up after this is all over and realize that their ideas that there is such thing as “law” have been woefully misguided and naive.
There is no such thing as law, at least not “blind” law, it’s just a way they make poor people feel okay because law applies to other poor people as well. But it’s always been like this, people in positions of power are almost always immune to the laws that they write and control. We are not a better species, we are not evolved.
I think if more people understood this, we might choose our leadership with more care.
