Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.

“Judge Sullivan's perverse interpretation appears to be focused on driving misleading headlines,” the spokesperson said last month. “This judge is suggesting DOJ violate the law by un-redacting victim names, who as the Department has always explained, sadly became co-conspirators. DOJ has produced all responsive documents and will appeal this decision with confidence.”
Sullivan’s order, however, did not order the release of survivors’ names, only to justify certain redactions, produce any additional records supporting them and publish the redaction log as required by law.
Add to the latter the executed innocents, and there might be tears with the hopes & prayers the US historically sends. That, or milspec Democracy™. Kind 50/50, these days. 🙃
Its evident the rule of law no longer applies. It is being demonstrated in many aspects.
How long till this becomes common census? I feel it quite bizarre how the admin and the establishments of authority are ignoring the law but the civilians are not.

So it turns out laws can only ever hurt the weak and protect the powerful. The system is literally incapable of being on your side.

They'll just refuse to go to jail.

Will? They've been doing that for years already. Hell, even the few that go are out, and even pardoned in no time. 🤷🏼♂️
I guess we'll have to try, dunno, putting them on trial again, for the n^th^ time? Cool, cool.

Lots of people who deserve to be in jail aren't, and many more who don't deserve it, are

Can you give it to them? Do not be too quick to deal out jail in judgment.
Sorry, you sounded like Gandalf and I couldn't help myself.

If liberal elites start putting their own in jail they won't be liberal elites any more, will they?

"The Department of 'Go 'Way! 'Batin'!" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, and most MAGAts don't know what their tongues are for.

The DOJ released this statement: Go fuck yourself off a bridge into a river of toxic waste. Who's going to arrest us, us?
