Time to Prosecute Democrats Who Break the Law

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

After years of cheering the ignoring of the law by Joe Biden – student loans, immigration, etc. – Democrats are now insisting that to enforce the law is to somehow break it…as long as it is being enforced against them. Not to get too hyperbolic, but this is how the Nazis acted, this is how the Taliban acted, of which the modern “progressive” Democrat Party are the direct descendants. Insisting they are above the law makes them the most dangerous political force in the country, if not the planet. They need to be held accountable. 

This latest foray by Democrats to defecate on the Constitution happened in New Jersey, as Democrat House Members showed up at an ICE holding facility for scum of the Earth criminal illegal aliens on their way out of the country. These are the current human props Democrats have elevated above actual law-abiding Americans because too many law-abiding Americans won’t obey them. 

These showboating Democrats pretended they wanted to do “oversight” at the facility, but showed up with an entourage and multiple camera crews. If you’re only interested in “doing your job” if it’s being recorded, forgive me if I don’t think you’re all that interested in doing your job. 

The House Democrats there, and the Mayor of Newark, all represent pits of crime and economic depression, as Democrats do. These people care not for their legal American constituents who elected them – and honestly, why would they? These people vote for morons simply because they’re Democrats, no matter how ineffective or feckless they are at their jobs. How could anyone elected that way genuinely care about or have respect for the idiots who gave them power? Democrats clearly do not.

When guards did not allow this parade of idiots into a high security holding facility, the Democrats did what 3-year-olds do: they threw a fit and started shoving the guards. They’re lucky they weren’t shot, and the mayor was arrested.

Immediately, these terrorists attacking guards simply doing their jobs screamed that they were the victims to the cameras conveniently there to capture what they had planned.

They claimed to be doing legitimate oversight, not a publicity stunt. But the members themselves are the only people granted access to ICE facilities without notice, not mayors, activists with them or some random boob with a camera. And no one is allowed to shove guards, Congressional ID or not. (Read who can get in and under what circumstances here.)

Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez threatened Department of Homeland Security officials if they dared arrest the law-breakers, though it’s unclear what a doughy dim-wit back-bench member of Congress in the minority party can actually do aside from post Instagram videos when not flying first class on donors’ dimes to “fight the oligarchy.” But she deserves a head-pat for the effort, and possibly a charge of threatening federal officials, as members of Congress only enjoy absolute immunity, both civilly and criminally, for the things they say on the House floor and nowhere else. 

Even Nancy Pelosi’s puppet in House Democrat leadership, Hakeem Jeffries, is talking tough. “We’re not going to be intimidated by their tactics to try to force principled opposition from not standing up to their extremism,” he whined to the press the other day. When Nancy gives her pet enough leash to make a fool of himself you know it’s serious.

These Democrats are clowns who, like the judge in Wisconsin who helped a domestic abusing illegal alien escape ICE in her courtroom, think they’re above the law. Well, a federal grand jury, not “the Trump administration,” returned an indictment of the leftist judge and there's no reason to think another grand jury wouldn’t do the same against any and all Democrats who assault members of law enforcement or otherwise break the law. 

We aren’t dealing with honest or good people, or even people who like the country, let alone love it. You don’t have to love this country, even if you’re elected to represent people in our government, but you do have to follow the laws. Democrats have gotten away with breaking them so often over the last decade – the Junkie Riots over George Floyd, the Michael Brown riots, the Trayvon Martin riots, the anti-Semitic riots, the hate America riots, etc. – that they really believe the law doesn’t apply to them because Democrats have not been applying the law to them. 

That needs to change and change in a serious way. Throw the book, throw the bookcase, throw the book store, throw the whole damn library at them. It’s fair, it’s just, and it’s probably the only way to return some sense of sanity to the cancerous rot that the Democrat Party has become.
