American Values
The Double Standard
Another day has gone by now and there is still no action by Attorney General Merrick Garland to enforce the federal law that prohibits demonstrations (intimidation) at the homes of federal judges.
Today, the radical pro-abortion movement intends to demonstrate outside the homes of all six conservative justices. There is no doubt what the purpose is – to intimidate them. To make them fearful for their safety and the safety of their families.
Meanwhile, there are still Americans rotting in Washington, D.C., jails because they demonstrated at the Capitol more than 16 months ago. The full weight and power of the federal government was brought down on these defendants. There is a major committee on Capitol Hill using that boisterous demonstration to demonize the entire conservative movement.
Attorney General Garland very quickly mobilized the FBI to silence concerned parents at school board meetings. Those protests are allowed under federal law.
What federal law does not allow is the intimidation of federal judges. Where is the FBI now?
The reason I am bringing this up again isn't because it's another progressive-induced irritation. No, it's more evidence of what half the country has felt for a long time, and why many Americans voted for Donald Trump. It's the obvious double standard of justice in America – one system for the left and one system for everyone else.
Left-wing rioters can burn whole cities and destroy monuments to America's history in the name of social justice, and they're supported by major media outlets and praised by elected politicians.
Charges against left-wing demonstrators are frequently dismissed. (Here, here and here.) But conservative demonstrators are demonized and destroyed – even truly peaceful protesters like Nick Sandmann or Mark and Patricia McCloskey.
That's unacceptable and cannot be tolerated. It will destroy our country.
Our republic is in grave danger when the left can freely threaten and intimidate our federal justice system but conservatives who question the extent of fraud in the last election are censored and banned from social media.
Let me remind you that President Biden is all in on this double standard. The White House insists these are "peaceful protests." But these protests are illegal. It is against federal law to protest at a judge's home in an attempt to change or influence their actions, which is exactly what these demonstrations are all about!
You don't have to smash their windows or break their doors down. The mere act of a mob gathering at their home is an unacceptable and illegal act of intimidation.
And what do you think would be happening right now if conservative parents were demonstrating outside the homes of liberal school board members, protesting critical race theory or insane gender lessons in the schools?
That actually is allowed under the law, but I guarantee you in some areas of the country those demonstrators would be arrested.
