"Nobody is above the law" is one of those appealing phrases that liberals love. They love words that pluck your emotional strings and that, at best, turn off your rational faculties.
The principle, of course, is sound. Application of the rules should not be arbitrary or depend on one's station in life or what social circle one belongs to. That is why Lady Justice is portrayed as blind.
But really, do the people who invoke that mantra really believe it?
A story in three parts:

Pritzker calls DHS report on people boxing in and ramming federal vehicles “propaganda"
Duckworth says DHS is “lying" about people boxing in and ramming federal vehicles
24 hrs later: CPD Sup demands people stop boxing in and ramming federal vehicles pic.twitter.com/mO39u0cw7F
The question answers itself. Like so many phrases it is deployed in the most sophistical manner possible. When they say "Nobody," they use it as a proper name, not as a category that applies to the population. Substitute "Democrats" or "Liberals" in the phrase and it is far more accurate.

"It is a demonstration that the American public, when they're not being listened to, these are the options they will take."

There are countless examples of this fact. Liberal activists routinely break the law, assaulting people, impeding law enforcement, vandalizing property, leaking classified information, and even lying to courts or Congress. Liberal judges will dismiss charges against people who have committed heinous crimes, and the entire liberal establishment is on a jihad to protect millions of people who entered the country illegally.
Man holding a "You proved Charlie right" sign was ATTACKED and pushed to the ground by anti-ICE leftists.

After getting up, an activist tried to steal his sign while another threw a liquid on him.

In other words, there are a lot of people in that category, "Nobodies" who are, in fact, above the law. And, come to think of it, "law" is one of those categories that gets awful squishy with Democrats, who seem to rewrite it in their minds whenever it suits them.

Democrats went to bat for Antifa. They celebrated riots to the point that they got on their knees to honor people burning down our cities.
When Luigi Mangione gunned down an innocent man who worked in an industry liberals love to both criticize and subsidize to the tune of billions of dollars a year, liberals became clapping seals, and even lawmakers trotted out the old "I don't approve of violence, but..."

Judges have housed illegal aliens in their homes, escorted criminal illegal aliens out of their courtrooms, and state government officials have declared that they will impede federal law enforcement agents as they do their jobs.
The Dems/MSM are claiming that Portland is completely peaceful and that there is no need for Trump to send troops to the ICE facility.

Meanwhile, in reality, this is what the ICE facility in Portland goes through almost every night.

The fact is that liberals believe that the law is not a tool to be used to ensure that society runs fairly and according to the will of the electorate. As much as they talk about law, norms, democracy, and all the fine principles that we all associate with civilization, when faced with following the rules or deferring to the expressed will of the electorate, they refuse to.
Classic theater kid Democrats.

If you’re trying to fear-monger about Trump giving “illegal orders” and the best examples you can come up with are not Trump, but the Nazi’s in WW2 and a fictional example from the movie a Few Good Men, you might not be a serious person. https://t.co/SJW6vFOK9e
Democrats produced a video last week with their usual appeal to important principles we all embrace, but it is clear that the intent is to encourage exactly the opposite of what they claim. While encouraging members of the military and intelligence community to refuse unlawful orders, they conveniently ignore the fact that they cannot name a single unlawful order that has been given.
Elissa Slotkin ADMITS Democrats lied about President Trump issuing illegal orders to the military:
— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) November 23, 2025
ABC: "Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?"
SLOTKIN: "To my knowledge I am not aware of things that are illegal." pic.twitter.com/63F8AHkK7E
They pull out the Nazis again, because everything they disagree with is Nazi, but what they are trying to do is normalize questioning orders. The goal is to politicize the military and suggest that unlawful orders are common enough under Trump.
Given that Democrats define "the law" to mean "things I approve of," what they are encouraging is for people whose job is to execute orders to question every single one. "We have your back," these legislators say. Just as they have Antifa's back, or the people attacking ICE.
🚨The Democrats Have Normalized Political Violence

Death threats. Bomb threats. Swatting attacks. The UNPRECEDENTED wave of violence targeting President Trump and his Cabinet continues.
🧵Here's what they DON'T want you to know... pic.twitter.com/NHNepGENpa
Democrats normalized members of the Executive Branch disobeying the president in his first term, lionizing the #resistance. Their goal was to render the 2016 election as irrelevant as possible. Sure, Trump was elected, but the goal was to make it impossible to be the Chief Executive.
The entire establishment cheered. Then lectured us about "norms," the "rule of law," and "saving democracy."
What they meant, though, was simply "rule by Democrats."
