Glenn Reynolds' masterpiece, Rule of Law edition

Many is the time I've enjoyed reading a Glenn Reynolds writing in the NY Post. It's safe to say that this op-ed is Reynolds' best work yet. It's written about what's being characterized as the pursuit of justice in NY State. One of the definitions of justice is "judgment of persons or causes by judicial process." This isn't happening in blue states at this point in time. What's happening, for instance, in NY v. Trump isn't justice. It's injustice. Saying that there's a two-tiered system of justice is understatement. Judge Juan Merchan should be disbarred for his actions. Ditto with DA Alvin Bragg.

Tuesday, in Judge Merchan's court, defense argued that Stormy Daniels' testimony was prejudicial and had nothing to do with the trial. Judge Merchan ruled that Daniels' testimony was relevant, allowing Daniels' salacious testimony into the record just as the defense had predicted. Then Merchan criticized prosecutors for soliciting the salacious testimony the Merchan could've ruled inadmissible.

Reynolds is exactly correct in stating that "And while prosecutor Alvin Bragg leaves no stone unthrown in his assault on Trump’s creatively designed “crimes,” he’s letting thieves, murderers and illegal immigrants who assault cops run free. He’s not policing the streets; he’s policing threats to Democratic power."

It's difficult to argue with Reynolds. Where's the FBI investigations of the on-campus riots? Where's the investigations into who's funding these corrupt enterprises? Those signs weren't paid for by college kids:

Similarly, DC police are refusing to remove protesters from the George Washington University campus. As Bader notes, the reason seems to be, again, that Democratic officials favor the speech of these protesters. No one, he notes, thinks that right-wing protesters would get the same treatment.

If they were pro-life, anti-election fraud or gun-rights encampments, the bulldozers would have been fired up at once. Yet the Supreme Court has made clear that officials have to be evenhanded in their treatment of protests, and can’t discriminate based on whether or not they like the viewpoint, something California federal judge Cormac J. Carney recently noted regarding selective prosecution of right-wing protesters vs. Antifa. But for all the talk about "rule of law," they’re doing just that in all sorts of cases, all over the country.

Right now, the U.S. doesn't consistently enforce the laws. When it comes to enforcing laws, Republicans are much more consistent at it than Democrats.
