Another pointless and one-sided editorial from the Free Press. You should allow space for counter-arguments.

First: Is it clear that the Adams prosecution wasn't political in the first place? Because it very much seems that he was subjected to prosecution because of his comments on immigration.

Secondly: is it really such a threat to the rule of law when a prosecutor drops charges... in order to get cooperation on other issues? Isn't that rather common in law enforcement?

Finally: if the Free Press is pining for "School House Rock" constitutionalism, it would be nice to have a real debate. Progressives do not give a single flying fuck about the rule of law or constitutionalism. When elite interests are a stake-- bailing out big finance, bailing out GM, unilaterally altering immigration policy- education policy-environmental policy, ignoring the Supreme Court to cancel billions in student loans-- progressives are silent... and the Anti-Trump conservatives are far more concerned with Trump than with the progressives who deploy "the rule of law" as a cynical ploy...
