Chris Salcedo is right to call out the radical left: when you watch Democrats cheer as federal power is stretched and selectively deployed, it’s hard not to conclude they’ve quit pretending they respect the rule of law. Ordinary Americans see a double standard — aggressive prosecutions aimed at one political side while the other enjoys mercy and political cover — and that suspicion is not merely partisan paranoia. The trust that binds citizens to the Constitution is fraying, and conservatives will not stand idle while our legal system is weaponized against political opponents.
Look at the mountain of legal chaos surrounding the last few years: state and federal prosecutions of President Trump have dominated headlines, including sweeping state-level RICO-style charges in Georgia that even some media outlets called extraordinary in scope. These cases have left millions of Americans wondering whether the law is being applied evenhandedly or whether it’s being used as a political cudgel.
Meanwhile, the other side of the political aisle has not exactly covered itself in the same cloak of evenhanded justice. The executive branch’s handling of sensitive materials and prosecutions has seen messy court rulings, dismissals, and controversies that only deepen the appearance of selective enforcement — outcomes that fuel the charge that the system protects insiders while punishing outsiders. Americans deserve a justice system that is blind to politics, not one that functions as a two-tiered system.
The Hunter Biden saga drove the issue into the open for many voters: a plea deal that imploded, a high-profile conviction in a gun case, and ultimately a highly controversial pardon that left millions asking if family connections bought a different kind of justice. When a president pardons his own son after a jury verdict and plea negotiations, it is perfectly reasonable for patriots to ask whether equal justice under law still exists in America. Government must be accountable to the people, not to dynasty.
Conservative lawmakers have not been silent. House Republicans launched serious oversight into what they call the “weaponization” of federal agencies, holding lengthy hearings and demanding answers about whether agencies meant to protect Americans have been turned against them. That oversight is not partisan theater; it’s necessary if we are to restore public confidence in the institutions that keep our republic functioning.
This is not just about headlines or legal technicalities — it’s about the future of our Republic. If Democrats are, as Salcedo warns, “done with the law,” then the American people must be done with the politicians who enabled that turn. Patriots ready to defend the Constitution should demand reforms: real oversight, limits on prosecutorial overreach, transparency about investigations, and safeguards to ensure the DOJ serves justice rather than partisan ends.
Hardworking Americans will recall that our Founders gave us a written rulebook for a reason: to restrain power and protect liberty. When elites treat those constraints as optional, they betray everything ordinary citizens work and sacrifice for. The time for polite complacency is over; conservatives must organize, vote, and hold every public servant accountable to the Constitution they swore to uphold.
If we want to save this nation from becoming an administrative state where power is used to silence opponents and reward allies, we must fight — in the courts, in Congress, and at the ballot box. Chris Salcedo’s blunt warning should be a wake-up call: patriotism means defending the rule of law even when it’s inconvenient, and it means refusing to accept a nation where the law bends to the powerful.
