From the linked article:
It seems those in power are selective about their adherence to the rule of our law. But a constitution is a guarantor of the general welfare only so long as its provisions are publicly acknowledged and adhered to. They are only publicly acknowledged and adhered to when they are believed in. And they are only believed in when their provisions are, so far as humanly possible, impartially applied.
That has not been the case in the United States in recent years.
Madison was right: “A mere demarkation on parchment” of constitutional limits “is not a sufficient guard against those encroachments which lead to a tyrannical concentration of all the powers of government in the same hands.”
It is one of Donald Trump’s greatest achievements to have recognized that a two-tier system of justice is a system of injustice.
“No one is above the law,” the Left used to chant as it weaponized the coercive power of the state against its political enemies. Trump has turned the tables on the weaponizers, forcing them to live by the same rules they deployed to harass their opponents.
Naturally, those who are being held accountable are shocked and appalled. For the rest of us, Trump’s bold actions are a vindication of his administration.
Happy Constitution Day.
