in perhaps the least surprising outcome of the last several weeks, team “no one is above the law” seems to have revised their views on the dictum they so enjoyed deploying upon “the donald” in their endless lawfare of “orange man felon” for the most minor and (ahem) trumped up of inoffensive offenses now suddenly finds fault with each and every attempt to apply law to their own team. however egregious the breach, so long as it’s by one of “our” activist judges: all good homie, we got your back. they certainly seem to love and demand “due process” and equality before the law” when it suits, but reveal this to be a façade behind which to hide might makes right privilege and unaccountable power when such tactics round upon them.
we see it in judge after judge taking wild swings and actions in clear contravention of law and morality and the slavish, uncritical support they seem able to elicit. it really is “leftist 101.” they will never pick a good guy to champion. it’s always killers and thieves and crackheads, rapists and goons. this pattern is so clear that the memes basically write themselves.
and here we go again. again.
the refrain the donkey demagogues have been pre seeding for a year is “trump will be a dictator.” he will seize absolute power and wield it by fiat breaking the law, subverting democracy, and violating ethics and morality.
i want to really hit on that last one. “it’s the law” is a rotten synonym for “this is good or moral or right.” turning in runaway slaves was the law. helping them was a breach of it. obviously, this conflicted with morality and when such conflict occurs, it is indeed good and right to break the law. no law that violates morality is just and opposing it is not just permissible but laudable.
this seems to be the framework the left seeks to erect in defense of its manyfold and multifarious activism inc judges: they seek justice and ethics against a tide of bad law made and applied by bad people against the will and mores of the demos.
well lemme tell you: this ain’t that.
pull up a chair and let’s look:
meet tina smith, senator from blue bastion homeworld minnesota, land of tim walz and 10,000 lakes of liberal tears.
she is upset about what happened to judge hannah dugan, who seems like a straight from central casting made in karen factory number 147 character.
there really does seem to be some sort of pheno and archetype here…
the whole internet is awash in claim and counter claim.
so what really happened here? was she a fearless member of an underground railroad helping the oppressed in the most moral of fashions or was she, herself, a criminal, helping bad people to break just laws?
i do like a good set of primary source material, so let’s go to the actual criminal complaint flied against her. as far as i know, none of these facts are contested.
first some context: it’s quite common for law enforcement agencies to serve warrants on people who are in court. it’s an easy way to find them in a specific place at a specific time and, as they have passed through metal detectors, they are unarmed. this is seen as a safe and efficient manner in which to make arrests/serve warrants. this seems a sound idea to me and one that both serves efficacy and protects the officers and arrested alike.
so, eduardo flores-ruiz was found to be in court. he was answering violent domestic battery/abuse charges and had already been deported from the US once before (in 2013) and had snuck back in.
so, in typical mod-prog fashion, we have not picked an upstanding citizen to defend but rather exactly the sort of person you really are not looking to import....SNIP

Thank you very much and God bless you.
I hope that the two tier “just-us” system has met the one tier DOJ.
Comes down to one simple question: How do we tell the difference between law and politics?
Answer: the question answers itself.
The judge violated 8 USC 1324 that deals with encouraging, aiding, transporting, etc., illegal aliens. Penalties up to 20 years, or more with special circumstances. Should cause dis-BARment and loss of legal license with judges.
Immigration is a privilege, not a right.
‘”Roe versus Wade and the same sex marriage decision were about licensing. Licensing is a form of regulation. Both decisions illegally amended the United States Constitution to change regulations the judges didn’t like, by majority vote of judges....the later was only a simple majority. There is a danger of unchecked, unbalanced judges deciding the law & the Constitution, as they tend to keep voting themselves more & more & more power over voters, granting standing & extra power to politically motivated plaintiffs they politically agree with. Immigration is a privilege, not a right. Roe versus Wade put abortionists above the law with license to kill innocent life, but normally, medical doctors are NOT above the law.
The same sex marriage decision created social confounding,chaos, and confusion, as judges ordered States to license same sex marriage against state & federal law, common sense and Reason. Marriage licensing had served the purpose of regulating sexuality to ban polygamy & to discourage promiscuity & homosexuality.......until bad laws chipped away at marriage by making divorce easy, and having no fault child custody & child support, even granting legal standing of unwed mothers to claim rights of wives under the old system of fault divorce, seemingly. Judges could have ruled no fault divorce unconstitutional, but they’ve been liberals with their fingers on the scale of justice for so long now, the only people who notice are called right wing conspiracy theorists.”
Activists make very very very bad judges
Remember all the lawyer jokes. Judges are lawyers with a black robe.
