What followed was another disaster in the series of disasters that have hit us ever since the allegations became public. At this point, it might be a good idea to remind ourselves that a distinguishing feature of any democracy is the space allowed for legitimate dissent. This muzzling of voices and curbing of dissent is only going to push citizens of this country to the wall.

The iron fist approach to dissent makes it worse.
