— Thomas Hern (@ThomasMHern) April 19, 2025Fake Virtue Lowers the Value of Citizenship . . ."The usual suspects in the political realm are posing as champions of democracy. Senators fly off to El Salvador, hoping to make grand gestures of righteous advocacy for the case of a Salvadoran citizen here illegally. The Salvadoran has had his several days in court, was found by the judge to be an MS-13 gang member — and this finding was upheld on appeal — and was ordered removed from the country. Moreover, his girlfriend had twice lodged complaints to Maryland courts that he physically assaulted her. But the Senators are appealing beyond the law, claiming somehow that not to do so would destroy the Constitution, and that deporting this man meant American citizens had to fear being jailed on the President’s whim.
"Clearly, the Senators believe that their audience don’t have the logical powers of even a third grader. They are making a grand theatrical gesture of virtue — that should be enough to override every rational consideration and have everyone in awe of them.
"It is nice to go beyond the law when it is your sacrifice — you suffer the consequence of your choice, which makes the sacrifice genuine. But that is not the Senators’ intention. They will not live in the neighborhood of this gangbanger if they succeed and force his return to the U.S. The Senators and their like live in safe places, and let the subordinate classes pay for their grand displays of virtue." . . .
