The "party of law and order" is dead as Republicans now want to break laws to get their way

Yup - total hypocrites. (But we always knew they were.)

Republicans now say it might be okay to ignore the Supreme Court​

A consequential development of the Trump era is what increasingly looks like the Republicans’ acrimonious divorce from the rule of law.

The party that once prided itself as the law-and-order side has leaped headlong into highly speculative theories about the “weaponization” of the justice system, spurred by former president Donald Trump. Both Trump and his former lawyer Rudy Giuliani recently flouted civil defamation verdicts against them by continuing to defame their victims — cheered on by many on the right. Republican voters increasingly want a president who is willing to break both rules and laws to get things done.

Even as recently as a decade ago, who would have thought the highest court in the land would be asked to grant "absolute legal immunity" that would only apply to a Republican President.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

Obama induced a standing 8 count and trump knocked them the fuck out, Smokey.
