A Lawless Justice System Criminalizes Opposition To Democrats
Joy Pullmann
Democrats’ successful 100-year war against the rule of law in America made it possible for a court to ban Democrats’ top opponent from criticizing them Monday. Because the United States is, in multiple aspects, effectively lawless after years of leftist-detonated norms and institutions, Democrats are now free to not just threaten Donald Trump with several hundred years in prison but anyone they so choose to target.
Not only must Trump spend millions in multiple venues for the crime of effectively publicly disagreeing with Democrats, but as of Monday, he is gagged from talking about this situation. That means merely being a party to a lawsuit has erased his First Amendment rights.
Prosecutors are well aware that they can convict just about anyone they want. That’s partly because American laws and regulations are now so voluminous that enforcement depends on discretion: picking and choosing whom to go after. The law has ballooned far beyond punishing things everyone knows are wrong to being used as a social control tool.
This is why the U.S. Department of Justice can go after peaceful pro-life demonstrators and people who merely walked on public property on Jan. 6, 2020. It’s the American enactment of the famous Soviet secret police head’s dictum, “Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.”
