ELECTIONS
The president’s lawyer must not be sacrificed to the authoritarian impulses of a lawless regime.
By The Editors December 6, 2021
In truth, it is the Democratic Party that long ago spurned the original limits and structure of the United States Constitution. But while almost all liberals and elected officials used to make public professions of loyalty to our constitutional system of government, that is changing—and changing rapidly. We now live in a political-legal environment where “penumbras and emanations” from the Bill of Rights protect “sacred” rights to, among other things, abortion. But, for those deemed enemies of the regime, no protection is given for the express right to a trial prior to punishment.
The rule of law itself is at stake in this controversy. This growing danger must be firmly resisted now, before it is too late.
