OPINION:
When the FBI raided Donald Trump’s home, our country should have reacted with shocked disbelief. Instead, our society turned a blind eye. Thus a precedent was established, giving the Justice Department broader authority to invade people’s private lives.
But a constitutional barrier protecting people’s inalienable right to unreasonable search and seizure had been breached. When these agents rifled through Melania Trump’s drawers, they were infringing on our citizens’ right to privacy. And when the Justice Department refused to allow the former president’s lawyers to witness the unlawful search of his private home, they eroded everyone’s right to an attorney when and if our “castles” are invaded for nefarious reasons.
The Democratic Party, news media and the White House have a void of conscience, and will continue to pursue, in an amoral manner, the attainment of their political objectives. They obtained basketball player Brittney Griner’s release for political reasons; they gave the harshest sentences to the protesters at the Jan. 6 incursion for political reasons — they wanted to show unequivocally what could happen to anyone who threatened their revolution — and they allowed hundreds of thousands of Americans to die from fentanyl so they could bring future Democratic voters into the country (also for political reasons).
Maybe someday, despite our differences, enough Americans can unite against this malevolent hierarchy.
