Jones: A moral leader no more?

Writing for the Ridenbaugh Press, former Supreme Court Judge Jim Jones comments:

Ever since World War II, the United States of America has been the champion of democracy and human rights throughout the globe. We have stood up to dictatorial governments and demanded that their citizens be allowed to live free of fear and oppression. Presidents of both parties have pursued that policy. It has been the cornerstone of our national security and has made our country the envy of other nations. Our country has decidedly strayed from that policy in recent months, heartening autocratic nations and causing concern amongst our steadfast allies. More here.

Question: Has this country lost its moral compass?
