For every high-profile case that goes to the Supreme Court, there are dozens of other, smaller cases in federal courts across the country in which the Trump administration lies, bends the rules, slanders innocent citizens and otherwise abuses the legal system to persecute its political opponents.

… Todd Blanche, the man who announced the bogus prosecution of the Broadview Six in the first place, is Trump’s nominee to replace Pam Bondi as the attorney general of the United States.
If he is confirmed, expect more vindictive prosecutions. Expect more prosecutorial misconduct. And expect more federal judges (and more American citizens) to say, along with Judge Perry in Illinois, that their trust is broken.
Why? Because the Trump administration is the nation’s chief threat to the rule of law.
Just found this in the draft folder. Good timing, given that the Supreme Court is also vying for the position of Chief Threat.
I just love how thriving the spirit of competition is:
David French: Trump is the nation’s greatest threat to the rule of law.
Supreme Court: Hold my beer.
Congress: No, hold my beer.
Republican voters: No, no. Hold my beer.
Democrat voters: No, no, no. Hold myyy beer.
