For those arguing that the Colorado decision is bad and shouldn't have happened because it'll cause more harm than good:

Denying accountability because of fear of retribution is called "appeasement". It didn't work in 1940, it won't work today.

Yes, it's possible that holding powerful people accountable might cause negative consequences. But not holding them accountable is *guaranteed* to cause negative consequences.

So the choice is clear, from both a moral and practical standpoint: Accountability matters.

@LouisIngenthron As with Bush v. Gore, we will fairly soon be shown what the law is.
