“If men were angels, no government would be necessary.” So wrote James Madison in Federalist 51, possibly the most famous paper defending the proposed Constitution.
To combat these unangelic tendencies, our framers wished officeholders to possess two qualities: wisdom and virtue. By wisdom, they meant the perceptiveness both to know the good and how to achieve it in the real world. By virtue, these statesmen had in mind the moral character to seek the common good and justice for all. Through both, they would counter the elements of society that lacked virtue and committed injustices as a result.
Here, the government held generally good intentions. It desired to help people and businesses suffering from the state shutdowns in response to COVID-19. The relief sought to keep people from losing homes and businesses from shutting down. A second government scandal switches out the problem. That would be the investigations into the doings of Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden. It is near impossible to conclude that Hunter Biden has not received special treatment from government officials, both in the investigations of his possible illegal conduct and even in the judicial proceedings that almost led to a privileged plea bargain.
