Biden and the Democrats are Undermining the Rule of Law
American Thinker.com ^ | October 29, 2021 | J. Robert Smith

An intriguing and distressingl feature of the Biden administration and congressional Democrats is both having a propensity for law breaking and lawmaking. They’re different sides of the same coin. While the former is obviously bad, in the wrong hands, the latter is no less wicked. Lawmaking, when done punitively, for gross partisan advantage, when favoring some over the many, and/or for pure power acquisition, will as easily offend and injure those citizens subject to bad laws as any violation of law.

Said the ancient Roman thinker Tacitus: “The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.”

Tacitus’ wisdom is timeless, for what do we see from the Biden administration and the Democrat-run Congress but a profusion of initiatives that they intend to make laws -- laws that meet the criteria for being bad.

To date, systemic inertia -- due, in large part, to thin Democrat congressional majorities -- internal divisions and squabbling, and a grasping incompetence have roadblocked the Democrats’ ambitious agenda. Pray that the GOP captures Congress in the midterms.

What, after all, is the “For the People Act” but a federalization of state elections for the purpose of granting Democrats naked partisan advantages in future elections? It’s a gambit to entrench one-party rule. It’s banana republic worthy.

All things liberal are the work of Satan. Homosexuality. Abortion. Etc.

Eph 6:12: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

The rule of law was put in jeopardy when Roe v. Wade was decided. Unethical judges put results over the integrity of the process, which brings down the whole system in the long run. It’s a concept small minded people can’t grasp.

I believe we need some really deep thinking on the topic of Law Enforcement.

ANTIFA can riot in the cities, they can burn buildings, they can threaten people, and hurt people. The police departments will stand around and do nothing. That’s not law and order.

If law-abiding citizens were to show up and if they were to set aside the law for a bit and make an effort to restore “law and order”, the police departments would come down on them like a ton of bricks.

Are the police helping? Is law enforcement really about law and order? I don’t see it. The Left wants to “defund the police”, mostly so that the Left can commit more crimes. I also want to “defund the police” because I think that’s a path for citizens to restore law and order. But it won’t be pretty.

Democrats don’t know how to govern; only how to rule.

There is no longer a rule of law.

There is only a tyranny of judges

Like in St. Louis and Kenosha.
