If there’s anything that ought to be a matter of consensus in American politics, it’s that holding the reins of power doesn’t give you carte blanche to turn the power of the state against your partisan rivals. Yet Ms. Lerner, having done that very thing, doesn’t seem to be much worse for the wear.
This hands-off trend isn’t limited by any means to the DOJ. Consider the current debate over the nuclear deal with Iran.

That is clear enough, but there is something clearer and more dangerous staring us in the face:

The idea that loyalty to party is paramount in American politics. More important that the welfare of the republic and its citizens.*
That is precisely what the discredited GOPe is currently demanding that Trump embrace : loyalty to party by paramount so he (and every other GOP candidate)must pledge not to run as third party candidate. Where did that come from?

The First Rapist, is where it came from. In The liberal War on Transparency, By Christopher Horner, 2012, it is clear that loyalty to party above all else is the most important duty of a GOPe member, now.
There is no need to examine the depths of ambition and criminality where that has led us the last twenty years.

I will vote for Trump in the Primaries AND in the general elections, third party or not.

Hate to break it to the GOPe eunuchs, all talk no action, but party is NOT paramount. Not now, not ever.

In case you hadn't noticed, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM NOW.

* The wife of that First Rapist has refined the arrogance and criminality without limits that we are experiencing now.

And the GOPe has caught the disease big time.

It may sound goofy, but in my recollection, the single thing that induced more widespread disrespect for the rule of law in United States history was the Federal 55mph speed limit in response to the OPEC oil embargo. This single event made widespread daily disobedience a fact of life.

Walter Williams wrote a great article on “Rule of Law”, perhaps 10 years ago. It was very well written, describing what it meant, and didn’t mean, and why it was pivotally important to a successful society. I’d love to find the article again....

Professor Walter E. Williams has written extensively on Rule of Law. Here’s an excert from a 2009 article: “The rule of law means laws are certain and known in advance. Laws envision no particular outcome except that of allowing people to peaceably pursue their own objectives. Finally, and most important, laws are equally applied to everyone, including government officials.”

Without the bible there is no law.

Hell, just look at Solyndra executives who bilked the taxpayer out of half a billion dollars and then declared bankruptcy. Then we are informed the DOJ will not pursue any legal action.

Let the average Joe attempt that and he would be currently sitting in a jail cell.
