12. "And, in the end, we failed as a nation."

Yep. At least the 'establish justice' part. I would also lump in 'Promote the general welfare' in there as well. We have failed in both departments and we seem to enjoy it for some reason because we keep on doing it.

But, you also mention this:

And with no action forthcoming from the corrupted system of justice...

Hear Hear! Our very democracy was in danger and their response was to wait... and wait... and have a presser where they vaguely discuss things... and wait...

We may have failed, but we are the ones who have to get back up. We are the ones who have to fix this.

To borrow a quote from Black Lighting: 'By any means necessary!'

Let's hope others realize it has come to this.
