Opinion - At the first whiff of power, these Republicans betrayed the rule of law [View all]

(The Hill) Every day the Trump regime tramples the rule of law makes Americans less free and less safe.

Every day the president defies the Constitution and courts makes America less America.

President Trump is increasingly acting like a king or dictator who rules by decree, and whose decree is all it takes to make someone disappear.

That’s now happening here, and with the full support of people like House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who has long portrayed himself and the Republican Party as advocates for the rule of law.
