The unanimous conviction of Donald Trump on 34 felony counts breathes fresh air into the health of America's justice system. Despite the machinations of the Supreme Court and the deranged objections of the Conservative Right, he will face sentencing for his crimes on July 11.
The judge and jurors, the heroes of this historic conviction, will surely endure harsh criticism from Trump and his political cronies but they deserve the sincere gratitude of all who support American Democracy. Coming on the heels of Trump's civil convictions for sexual assault and business fraud, this judgment should signal the demise of his poisonous political power.
Whether the Republican Party will continue to support Trump as their Presidential Nominee remains to be seen. If so, the final verdict will come in November.
