Our big institutions – the Supreme Court, the media – will not save us, because they cannot save us. They cannot save themselves – from crippling arrogance and the belief that they owe nothing to anyone by way of accountability and virtuous behavior that places the well-being of our democracy first and foremost in their deliberations.
As Aristotle told us long ago, far from saving anyone, hubris merely sets up its practitioners for a big fall.
