One rule for you, none for them

The two-tiered system of justice is really starting to grate on the American people.

f my dog bites a neighbor, I face legal and financial liability. If I lie on a job application and my employer finds out, I am escorted to the parking lot before lunch. In America, accountability flows downhill, fast and without mercy — unless, of course, you happen to work in Washington.

The frustration among ordinary American taxpayers has reached a pitch that no amount of press conferences or oversight hearings can muffle. We follow the rules. We pay our taxes. We accept the consequences of our mistakes. And then we watch, slack-jawed, as the political class operates by an entirely different code — one in which careers survive scandals that would land the rest of us in handcuffs.

Start with the Russia investigation. The 2023 Durham Report concluded that the FBI launched a full investigation into Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign based on unanalyzed intelligence, a charitable way of saying they ran with a story they never bothered to verify. Former CIA director John Brennan and former FBI director James Comey promoted claims they had no business repeating. Grand jury proceedings have since been opened against several figures involved in the affair.

Operation Crossfire Hurricane was launched in July 2016. Nearly a decade on, not one former intelligence or law enforcement official has spent a single day behind bars. If an ordinary citizen filed a false police report, he would be arrested, charged, and mocked on the local evening news. When the FBI’s former leadership does it with the full apparatus of the surveillance state, they collect book deals and cable television contracts.

Then there is the case of Ashli Babbitt. An unarmed 14-year Air Force veteran was shot and killed

For the left, the ends justify the means.

The only end is Power. Power By Any Means Necessary.

There is no principle on the Left but Power.

“Judicial Accountability for Irresponsible Leniency (JAIL) Act “

This is the first I have heard about this attempt to assign accountability to the legal profession particularly judges. It is of course sad that this type of legislation even needs to be brought up. So without doing any real research I assume that every D is against it and probably about a third of the R group is also. That is sad.

I think the Constitution specifies justice for everyone, but it doesn’t seem to get enforced. This is curious because there are those that seem to want to enforce justice properly. They may campaign for office on that, but someone disagrees & in the argument it seems that justice is not done, often because of some judge. This has got to change, but who can change it? Someone can take a dubious argument & make it sound perfectly reasonable. It seems to all depend on who is the smoothest talker although that person may be absolutely wrong. Hence we will have criminals who see “judge shopping” as a way out of a particular criminal charge...and it sure seems to work. One thing is certain....no matter who is doing what, it must absolutely be done according to our Constitution, the law of the land. Then there may be several opinions about what the Constitution really says.
