A test for our Judical system.

It was heartening to see Judge Sullivan's ruling about unredacting much of the Flynn testimony. We can only hope that other judges will act likewise.

This lawless presidency is testing our entire political system. The Congress and Senate are divided along Party lines. The White House is claiming "executive privilege"on everything and is refusing to release any documents or tax returns to the Congress. After two and half years, we know nothing more about Donald Trump's finances than the day he came down the elevator. He has been the least transparent president in our memories.

However, the rulings are making their way to the Courts. Finally, we may get some resolution? It is scary to think that the Trump Party has rigged our Judicial system to meet their political goals and to protect themselves from any legal scrutiny.

It has been a hard and challenging journey up to this point.

We hope that our Judicial System will stand up to the challenge and save our democracy. Without a fair, honest , and impartial judicial, then our democracy's survival will be severely tested.
