Remember when the Lawyer Left Legions lined up from Broadway to Guantanamo Bay to volunteer their services to imprisoned al-Qaeda terrorists? Ensuring a five-star due-process menu for mass-murderers whose objective was to return to the jihad, we were told, was the best way to promote “our values” globally. (With the globe on fire 20 years later, it’s probably best not to ask how that went.)
In more recent times, progressives have stayed domestic, railing about the “carceral state,” going to bat for violent criminals of color, and maintaining that the justice system is inherently racist. Wait a sec, you think: Isn’t that system run by the Lawyer Left and its top law-school graduates? Now, now, this is no time for such impertinence — not when we still have police departments to investigate!
