The party apparachiks have abandoned the rule of law, the citizens have not, thus the support for Trump.

Trump’s immigration plan would restore the law after 30 years of administrations refusing to enforce the law.

Trump is likely to be the MOST law abiding President we’ve had in a long time.

What Obama has served to do if anything is show just how irrelevant and impotent the Congress is now. Especially the RINO Congress of Mitch Boehner.

“There is no rule of law.”

Libs don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot.

The Libs ran roughshod over the constitution. The GOPe in congress sat silently when Obama raped America. When the pendulum swings back in the form of Trump/Cruz, the Libs can't complain. They brought it upon themselves.

Mona Charon is an amnesty pimp and wastes no time sliming Trump with this steaming pantload:

The appeal of Trump falls into this category. Though one might suppose that his borderline pathological narcissism, his arrested emotional development, and his nearly incoherent ramblings would exclude him from consideration for county clerk, he sits atop the GOP field. The message from a segment of the Republican party is: “Okay, we’re an autocracy now. So let’s have this guy govern by fiat.”

Tell me, Mona - how is wanting existing immigration law enforced governing by fiat?

Hint: it's not.

In all truth, Trump has nothing to do with Mona’s complaint. It’s the readership hook.....grab current attention because of “Trump”.

The guts of the article is really about her question of “Republicans” and their loss of vision or something with respect to the rule of law - which Obama has consistently ignored throughout his Presidency and will continue to do so.

Mona, I submit that your use of “Republican” shows a very misplaced and ill defined premise. Establishment Republicans don’t give a damn about the rule of law. Never did, else they would have done something in the years since 2012 when they retook the House of Representatives.

The only steadfast supporters of RoL are conservatives - at the condemnation of our quisling Republican leadership who say we are “loony,” “crazies” and whatnot.

Just because you put some demeaning language about Trump in your article with scant relevancy to your too-late plaint doesn’t mean he is the problem of it all. For that, look back to what you’re calling Republican, missy.

Let’s ask Hillary Clinton about the rule of law.

For us, I mean, not her, obviously.

“Have Republicans Grown Tired of Supporting the Rule of Law? by MONA CHAREN August 28, 2015 “

Well Mona Charen ought to know. For years she’s been one of the main GOPe apologists for illegal immigration. A female Michael Medved.

Since when did either one of them care about the rule of law?

They’ve been more than willing to advocate wholesale lawbreaking whenever it benefits the GOP’s desire to replace Americans with latino invaders.

Most Americans, and most Republicans, don’t even know what the basis of the rule of law is any more.

New tagline ...

There is sort of a rule of law. If you are not a in a “favored group”, you will be prosecuted to the limit of the law. If you are in a “favored group”, anything goes. We live in a time surrounded by malignant criminals at all levels.
