A Never-Trump Prosecutor Threatens Free Speech

The indictment of Donald Trump for speaking out against the results of the 2020 election, and in the words of the indictment, fomenting “a conspiracy to defraud the United States,” has been challenged by legal commentators from both political parties. These jurists consider the prosecutor’s “novel legal theories” dubious or even preposterous, not to mention unconstitutional. If successful, this politicization of the legal system that attacks one candidate for the presidency and benefits the other, carries with it a huge moral hazard.

Downballot Republicans overperformed in 2016 and 2020 runningwithTrump and underperformed in 2018 and 2022withoutTrump. How could this be? It’s not hard to figure. Trump brings out a lot of “nontraditional” voters when he is on the ticket. And while he also loses the votes of a fair number of traditional Republican voters, those people have voted for Trump’s opponent at the top but then stuck with the rest of the R candidates.

U.S. President Joe Biden promised to end the “forever wars” launched after the 9/11 attacks.

When Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley falsely attributed a quote to Founding Father Patrick Henry over the 4th of July holiday weekend, perhaps it shouldn’t have been all that surprising that the quote turned out to be from a white nationalist publication report printed in 1958. Hawley’s recently released book, “Manhood: The Masculine Virtues America Needs,” provides a thorough roadmap to how the senator thinks about his brand of hyperconservative Christian, largely white masculinity and what he perceives as its crisis.
