The Rule of Law
They can't hide the TRUTH anymore.
The rule of law is the principle that every individual, institution, and government entity is accountable to laws that are:
-
Publicly promulgated
-
Equally enforced
-
Independently adjudicated
-
Consistent with international human rights standards
When a political figure claims to uphold the rule of law, it implies respect for legal processes, the constitutional system, and the enforcement of established statutes — regardless of political affiliation or ideology.
Support of Criminal Acts (e.g., Arson, Vandalism, Assault)
Supporting or excusing actions like:
-
Arson
-
Assault on law enforcement
-
Destruction of private or public property
-
Obstruction of immigration enforcement
… runs counter to the rule of law. Encouraging or ignoring such acts undermines legal systems and sets precedents for selective justice, where some groups are exempt from punishment based on political narratives.
Illegal Immigration and Civil Disobedience
While civil disobedience has a long tradition in the U.S. (e.g., civil rights era), it’s traditionally nonviolent and accepts legal consequences. When advocacy for illegal immigration includes shielding fugitives, interfering with federal operations, or calling for the abolition of immigration enforcement entirely, critics argue that’s not civil disobedience — it’s institutionalized lawbreaking.
The Double Standard Argument
Many conservatives argue that selectively enforcing laws based on political ideology — such as declining to prosecute those who riot under certain causes, but harshly punishing others — represents a breakdown of the rule of law. To them, supporting sanctuary cities, decriminalizing illegal entry, and refusing to cooperate with federal enforcement is institutional complicity with lawbreaking.
Meanwhile, critics of Trump argue that he, too, has undermined the rule of law by pressuring officials, contesting electoral processes, or using the justice system for political gain.
In Summary
Claiming to uphold the rule of law means enforcing legal standards equally, regardless of race, religion, political belief, or social cause. Supporting or excusing criminal behavior in the name of a cause — whether on the left or the right — contradicts that principle. The tension lies not just in the acts themselves, but in how consistently justice is applied.
