I’m sure my definition of equality is similar to what most Americans think of as equality. Everyone has the same civil rights; the laws apply to everyone and no one is treated differently. I’d be willing to bet that just about everyone is on board with that.
What too many people fail to realize is that when you treat everyone the same, when everyone enjoys the same rights, not everyone is going to be happy and by that, I mean being equal means you have to all play by the same rules. No one gets an advantage; no one group’s particular ideology should trump another’s and that applies to everyone on either side of whatever the argument is.

Editorial: The White House Thought Impeachment Would Hurt Them

Impeachment is over and done with. It was a perfect political storm for the White House.


As the effort to try and convict former President Donald Trump ramped up, many expressed concerns that the move would derail President Joe Biden’s agenda. Just days after the Jan. 6 riots, Democratic Representative James Clyburn floated an idea to delay sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate until after Biden’s first 100 days.

“I do have concerns,” Clyburn said on CNN when asked about the impact of impeachment on Biden’s agenda. “Let's give President-elect Biden the 100 days he needs to get his agenda off and running, and maybe we will send the articles some time after that.”

While many disagreed with Clyburn’s suggestion, concerns over the impact of a trial in the Senate just as Biden is attempting to jumpstart his presidency were rampant.

“For Biden and the Democrats the proceedings this week presented a strategic challenge,” journalist Peter Nicholas wrote in The Atlantic. “A long and complicated trial would risk derailing Biden’s stimulus package, slowing down his Cabinet confirmations, and distracting from his efforts to combat the pandemic.”

Perhaps that is true. ​
