After all, we’re talking about a sitting judge actively interfering with federal law enforcement. Instead, Democrats from Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisc.) to Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) promptly took to social media to decry the arrest of Dugan, outraged that a “sitting judge” had been arrested—as if her job title magically excuses her from the law.It’s the double standard being applied...again. It’s OK if Democrats ignore the law and bad if Republicans enforce the law.
Democrats immediately pivoted to portraying her as a victim of authoritarian overreach. Instead of grappling with the serious allegation that a judge aided an illegal immigrant’s escape and sparked a foot chase by agents, Democrats accused ICE of behaving like a “Third World” police force. Time and time again, Democrats have proven whose side they are on, and that they are willing to distort the truth in the hopes of turning public opinion against Donald Trump.
It’s clear the real goal here isn’t justice—it’s politics. Democrats are once again defending the indefensible because the alternative would mean admitting that Trump’s crackdown on lawlessness is working. So they manufacture a martyr, whether it’s a “Maryland man” with MS-13 ties or a “sitting judge” caught obstructing immigration enforcement.
The left’s message couldn’t be clearer: if you’re politically useful to them, your crimes don’t matter. Your illegal entry, your gang ties, your obstruction of justice—all of it can be sanitized with the right label. “Maryland man.” “Sitting judge.”
Whatever it takes to keep the narrative alive.
Another liberal judge, Boasberg, issued a court order demanding violent Tren de Arugua deportees be returned to the US despite the facts that he had absolutely no jurisdiction to do so – he’s a DC circuit judge but the affected federal district was in Texas – and the aircraft he ordered to return were in international airspace so he still didn’t have any jurisdiction, something for which the DC Court of Appeals overturned his court orders. So now he’s going after Trump for Contempt of Court for ignoring the two illegal court orders he issued. Somehow I have a feeling that will go the same way as his two overturned court orders.
Then we have Letitia James, the Attorney General of the State of New York, being investigated for bank fraud and perjury, but it seems the Democrats are trying to make the arrogant and hypocritical AG yet another victim of “Right Wing extremists”. No, what she is is a criminal, not just for breaking New York and Virginia state laws, but federal laws as well.
It seems the lawfare continues with not just very loose interpretations of the law and Constitution, but outright ignoring them by activist judges who seem to believe their rulings are absolute and cannot be questioned, even by higher courts including SCOTUS.
The law was weaponized under the Biden administration, but now that the Democrats are no longer in power they don’t like seeing their machinations being dismantled or reversed even if doing so brings things back under the rule of law and not law by decree...or in the case of the Biden administration, the law by autopen.
