Martin Schram: Even historians can get trumped

We, the chroniclers, in order to help the People of the United States form a more perfect Union (or at least salvage the shaky, imperfect one we’ve got!) are today proposing a two-part effort that may be our best chance for re-establishing Justice and returning our homeland to a semblance of domestic Tranquility.

First, we all need to simply pause, declare and then implement a Great American Timeout!

Why? Because, as we have just discovered about ourselves during this first ever arrest and arraignment of a former U.S. president, everyone’s political and even personal values – left, center, right – have become all bollixed and backward. None of us got this quite right. We all need to downshift our overwrought gray-cells – rewind, rethink and maybe re-sync. We need to reconnect with the core values that once helped us pick our politics.
