The Ridiculous Notion That No One Is Above the Law

You probably think this story will be about a certain ex-president who likely committed dozens of crimes while in office and will likely never spend a day in jail. There are admitted similarities, but this story is about a vice president who literally killed someone and tried to overthrow the government. This person was ultimately charged with treason. While in confinement in Alabama, he took many meals with the camp commandant and his family. He slept in a comfortable bed. When he was transferred by boat to Richmond, VA, for trial, women lined the banks weeping at the sight of the former vice president as a prisoner. He was acquitted after the Supreme Court Justice overseeing the trial seemingly placed his thumb on the scale.
