Lawless in the Courtroom
Kevin McCullough
In a republic built on the notion of self-governance, there is no greater insult to the American people than when unelected judges twist the law to oppose the clear will of the citizenry. And yet, in the same week, we’ve been handed not one, but two jaw-dropping examples of just that.
In Wisconsin, a state judge—yes, a judge—allegedly obstructed federal authorities from apprehending an illegal alien. According to reporting from Fox News, Judge Brittany Grayson not only tipped off the suspect that ICE was waiting outside her courtroom, but then proceeded to allow the alien to exit through a side door, effectively assisting in his escape from lawful custody. Now the FBI has arrested her.
Let that sink in: a judge sworn to uphold the law is under arrest for breaking it to protect someone who already broke it just by being here illegally.
Meanwhile, down the legal road in the federal system, another judge has blocked a Trump executive order aimed at encouraging states to require voter ID—a measure that enjoys overwhelming support from the American people, across party lines, racial lines, economic lines. Why? Because it’s common sense. In today’s America, you need ID to buy cold medicine, board a plane, or adopt a dog—but some judges think it’s “discriminatory” to require one to vote for who controls the nuclear codes.
