At the first whiff of power, these Republicans betrayed the rule of law
Every day the Trump regime tramples the rule of law makes Americans less free and less safe.
Every day the president defies the Constitution and courts makes America less America.
President Trump is increasingly acting like a king or dictator who rules by decree, and whose decree is all it takes to make someone disappear.
That’s now happening here, and with the full support of people like House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who has long portrayed himself and the Republican Party as advocates for the rule of law.
“Ours is ‘a government of laws and not of men,’ and the rule of law is our foundation,” says Johnson’s website.
That’s fine to say, but where is Johnson when Trump sends hundreds of people, mostly without criminal records, to a foreign concentration camp, with no trial and no opportunity to prove their innocence?
Where is Johnson’s professed reverence for the rule of law when Trump and other MAGA-supporting officials mockingly defy the courts and evade a unanimous Supreme Court ruling that the administration must facilitate the return of a man the courts have ruled, and Trump’s team admitted, was wrongly included in one of the trafficking flights to a brutal gulag in El Salvador?
