GOP Assaults Rule of Law

Convict Trump and his GOP enablers are orchestrating an all out attack on our judicial system and the rule of law.

GOP leaders rushing to defend convicted felon Trump are further exposing the hypocrisy of the Republican Party. When Trump lost the 2020 election, Republicans passed dozens of "election integrity" laws to disenfranchise millions of voters. Now that Trump is a felon, the so called "law and order" Republicans are attacking our courts in an all out assault on the rule of law.
