On a California Saturday, Paul Pelosi — husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — became the subject of a law enforcement investigation after leaving the scene of a collision that caused significant damage to a parked vehicle. Hit-and-run incidents carry legal weight under California statute, and the circumstances here are no different for the prominence of the name attached to them. The case quietly poses a question that democratic societies return to again and again: whether the law bends, holds, or is seen to hold, when power and accountability share the same road.
