If Rule Of Law Dies, So Does Our Republic –

. . ."Once government can indict you for your politics, censor you on social media, and give left-wing groups free rein while jailing conservatives, it will have shredded our Constitution and erased all your God-given rights. Don’t sit on the sidelines. 

 Issues & Insights   "A number of columns and editorials in recent weeks have openly wondered if the notion of a nation ruled by laws — fair laws reasonably interpreted by well-trained, unbiased, disinterested judges — was dying. Sorry, but it might already be dead.

The overtly political mugging of Donald Trump by a Soros-backed New York district attorney wielding a risible 34-count felony indictment that could put the ex-president behind bars for more than 100 years is bad enough.

But the absurd nature of the accusations make clear the legal charges have nothing to do with the law, and everything to do with Democratic politics.

It’s an obvious example of overreach by a prosecutor, New York’s leftist District Attorney Alvin Bragg, solely for political reasons. It’s an embarrassment to the once-great Empire State, and a travesty of law that will have a damaging effect on Americans’ faith in the legal system.

The left has mastered on technique, straight out of Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” — Rule #13: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

"That’s precisely what is being done to ex-President Donald Trump.

"With 2024 looking grim for the Democrats, their only hope is to make Trump into an arch-villain. This, they seem to think, will unite their party’s dispirited base voters, while depriving MAGA voters and others who see Trump as a bulwark against the left’s virulent socialism with an option on Election Day.

"Why? Trump, right now, has a significantly large lead over the next biggest potential Republican rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. In our own I&I/TIPP Poll, taken in early March, Trump held a 51% to 27% lead over DeSantis among Republican-leaning voters for the 2024 GOP presidential primaries.

"President Joe Biden, meanwhile, looks weaker and weaker by the day. The same poll shows just 43% of those who support the Democrats would vote for Biden. He doesn’t have a majority in his own party. Worse, his net approval rating is -12, near its record low.". . .
