An attack upon our Constitution and our rule of law.
It is something only a criminal mind could conjure up. The average person would never think that the laws would not apply to them. They might think of ways to get around the law but they rarely think that the law is irrelevant.
But we have a gang, a mob perhaps, in the White House that seems to believe exactly that. The President can pardon whomever he wants, anytime he wants, and he can dismiss any Federal investigation anytime he wants. He may even be able to pardon himself?
The idea that justice applies to us all has been sacrosanct with law-abiding Americans all of their lives. It is shocking to hear anyone suggest that the law does not apply to them. We may argue that there are some people that are too big to prosecute or too powerful to prosecute but it is another argument entirely to suggest that the law is irrelevant and that some people are above the law.
The bedrock, sacrosanct principle of justice is under attack.

It's amazing to watch. I'd like to hear from the RWs in the Supreme Court.
