The raid on President Trump’s home of Mar-a-Lago is not a violation that should be taken lightly. Frightening his political opponents, as Biden is doing, is a threat to the survival of our Republic. Plenty of political pundits are making the rounds doing their usual complaining, but other than Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene’s valiant effort to impeach Garland, little has been done to bring accountability to Democrats’ one-sided persecution of Trump supporters.
One reason for this unjustified federal raid may be to goad Georgia prosecutors into indicting Trump or his supporters. They wasted no time informing Rudy Giuliani that he is a target of their witch hunt. An Obama-appointed federal judge ordered Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to testify in Georgia before a grand jury assembled there in an effort to indict Trump supporters.
Sen. Graham vows to appeal the Obama judge’s impertinent demand, citing the constitutional provision that members of Congress “shall not be questioned in any other place” for their statements. Political issues are supposed to be presented to American voters to resolve at the ballot box, not by hauling members of one political party before a state grand jury.
Representative government does not work when the party in power can terrorize its political rivals with surprise raids on their homes and intrusive demands to testify in one-sided investigations. The next Congress, convening in January of 2023, must act quickly to rein in liberals’ unhinged persecutions of their political rivals.
From the time of our nation’s founding, it has been understood that our interests as a nation must include the conviction that all men are created equal, and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. When these rights are stripped from individuals in the name of political prosecutions, the very concept of liberty suffers a blow. Regardless of your politics, changing the rules of the game like we saw with the raid on President Trump is a clear violation of the longstanding traditions that hold our nation together. We must reject President Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland’s partisan ploy as the threat to our Republic that it is.
