To call this a bonkers excursion into legalism is to strain the notion of charity. The Left has already had its scamper into mangling law and the whole idea of law in the Alvin Bragg prosecutions in Manhattan; last week’s frolic is a different sort of excursion into pretend-law, although in a number of ways more disgusting and dangerous. Why settle for merely putting your political opponents in jail on exotic charges when you can get your mortal enemies to laugh at you by pretending that their war on civilized life is going to be settled in a courtroom? (See also our legal system’s inability to deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed more than twenty years after his capture).

This, however, is exactly the bizarre lens through which the Left views law, and is one more unhappily serious reason that Ms. Harris, who shares these ideas to the extent she shares any, cannot be allowed anywhere near power, even if the alternative is the indigestible (and irresponsible) Donald Trump.
