Opinion in Brief

David Limbaugh: "It's rich that rule of law-scoffing Democratic Senators Dianne Feinstein and Dick Durbin grilled one of President Trump's judicial nominees, law professor Amy Coney Barrett, for placing her religious beliefs above the law. ... Let's just ask the senators whether their own worldview leads them to oppose the death penalty and, if so, whether that worldview would prevent them from following the law in death penalty cases. Better yet, would their worldview — religious or not — lead them to ignore and rewrite the law in any other areas, such as abortion, immigration, health care and taxes? We know the answer. Ends-justify-the-means leftists, almost to a man (or woman), have no hesitation in subordinating the law to their policy goals. It's only when a Republican officeholder or nominee is openly Christian that they get worked up about this. But as usual, their simulated concern is misplaced, because Christian constitutionalists are the last people they need to fear in such cases. As adherents to the rule of law, they will not, no matter how religious (or 'orthodox') they are, ignore the law. Despite their posturing, Durbin and Feinstein know that most liberal senators wouldn't even face a dilemma in such cases. If the existing law doesn't suit them and they don't have the political clout to amend it through the proper legislative process, they'll just ignore it as a bygone relic. They are fooling no one."
