The judge who punished her had a more effective option at his disposal.

This week, the Justice Department felt the need to write a memo to staff instructing them to indict individuals when they commit crimes, seemingly something implied by their job titles. It doesn’t say as much about the current Justice Department regime under Loretta Lynch as it does about the former one under Eric Holder. No major Wall Street executive went to jail for the illegal actions that precipitated the financial crisis, despite a mountain of documentary evidence of fraud.

When it comes to the balance of power, Obama set a dangerous precedent.

After weeks of struggling to attract voter support or raise enough money to pay his campaign staff, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Friday afternoon became the first major candidate to leave the 2016 presidential race.

The House on Friday shot down a resolution approving of the Iran nuclear agreement, and had help from more than two dozen Democrats. Members rejected the approval resolution in an 162-269 vote. Every Republican save one voted against it (Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., voted present), and Republicans opposed to the deal were joined by 25 Democrats. Opponents of the Iran agreement will likely point to the vote in the months and years ahead that a sign Congress couldn't get behind the deal, even though it will take effect regardless of today's vote. Many Republicans used the debate to warn Democrats that the agreement doesn't do nearly enough to slow Iran's march toward a nuclear weapon. If this deal goes through, President Obama and Democrats in Congress will own the consequences of allowing the Iranian regime to become a nuclear power, said Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Calif. We should be embarrassed that as the leader of the free world and the most powerful country on earth, this is the best deal President Obama could negotiate.

By Patrick J. Buchanan If the law supposes that, the law is a ass — a idiot. Charles Dickens gave that line to Mr. Bumble in Oliver Twist. And it sums up the judgment of Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis about the Supreme Court's Obergefell decision, which said the 14th Amendment guarantees same-sex couples the right to marry. Davis refused to provide marriage licenses to gay couples lined up at her clerk's office and was sent to jail for five days by a federal judge for contempt of court. Good for her. We need more like her. For behind her defiance are more authoritative sources than the five justices who gave us Obergefell: the Old and New Testaments, Natural Law, two millennia of Christian teaching and tradition, and the entire body of U.S. federal and state law up to Y2K. Moreover, Kentucky never enacted a law authorizing same-sex marriage. Nor did the Congress of the United States. Whence, then, did this law come? Answer: This is a creation of a Supreme Court that has usurped the legislative power to impose a secularist anti-Christian ideology on a nation, much of which still rejects it, but has no recourse against it. A right to same-sex marriage was no more in the Constitution as written or amended than was a woman's right to have an abortion. The Court has lately been declaring to be constitutional rights that used to regarded as shameful crimes. This is judicial tyranny. And Kim Davis' defiance is as old as the republic. Recall, we were born in a rebellion against the tyrannical acts of a king and Parliament we did not elect. President Jefferson ordered the release of all those convicted under the Sedition Act, declared that he would no longer enforce that Federalist-enacted law, and pronounced it a nullity. When Chief Justice Roger Taney declared slaves were property and could not become citizens, Harriet Tubman ignored his Dred Scott decision, defied the fugitive slave laws, and helped slaves escape from her native Maryland. Socialist Party leader Eugene V. Debs defied the Espionage Act of 1917 and spoke out against World War I. Convicted of sedition, he was sent to prison for 10 years under Woodrow Wilson, but freed by President Harding. Throughout American history, industrial workers, civil rights and anti-war activists, and political dissenters have defied laws, ignored court orders, and gone to jail for contempt. Rosa Parks broke the law in Montgomery, Alabama, by refusing to move to the back of the bus. Martin Luther King, a disciple of Gandhi, preached and practiced civil disobedience his entire life. Now there is a statue on the mall and a holiday for King and talk of putting Tubman or Parks on America's currency. They are honored because their defiance of court orders and law-breaking were done in the cause of social progress. But Kim Davis' defiance of a court order was done because that is what God told her to do, and she wanted to be faithful to the beliefs she had embraced as an Apostolic Christian. Yes, Virginia, there is a double standard. In the 20th century, if you were breaking the law or violating a court order to protest segregation, Vietnam, or apartheid in South Africa, you got an indulgent press. But if you were defying a court order to stop blocking integration at the University of Alabama or Little Rock High, or stop protesting too close to the local abortion mill, you got lectures on the rule of law. Some conservatives say that Kim Davis as a public official has to carry out court orders, even those she believes to be immoral, or quit. Yet the course she took has undeniably advanced her cause in our unending culture war. For she rallied and inspired many with her witness, defiance and willingness to go to jail. She set an example of nonviolent resistance. She treated same-sex marriage not as some great social leap forward, but as a moral abomination. Many among the silent majority were surely nodding in approval. She has also exposed the breadth and depth of the division in the country between an older Christian America and new Secular America. Once, the Supreme Court could rely upon a residual respect for its proceedings, grounded in a belief that ours is a good government whose actions, even if we disagree, are rooted in principle and merit respect. That reservoir of trust and good will is about gone. Almost all of the civil and uncivil disobedience of the last half-century, from campus uprisings to urban riots to political protests, came from the left. But as an anti-Christian secularism becomes ascendant, dominant and imperious, rumbles are coming from right. Indeed, from the raw politics of the Summer of Trump, it seems clear that Middle America has come to believe it has been had, and that the state that rules the nation is hostile to the country they love, and needs to be resisted and defied. We are headed for interesting times.
