Left Wing Hypocrisy Regarding 19th Century Laws

[Independent thinker]

OK, so, the left are perfectly fine with getting so desperate to get Trump that they have to scrape up an old 1870 law in order to try getting him but when it comes to an 1849 law against abortion the left scream bloody murder against using it. Is it acceptable to used 19th century laws or not? You can't have it both ways.


Former President Donald Trump is expected to be indicted in federal court soon as part of the Justice Department’s investigation into the January 6 attack on the Capitol building and his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, with a target letter he received, reportedly suggesting that Trump will face charges under 18 U.S. Code § 241, a law dating back to just after the Civil War

Section 241 was initially passed after the Civil War as part of the Enforcement Act of 1870 as a way to punish members of the Ku Klux Klan and other Southerners from intimidating or harassing Black voters for exercising their new voting rights, but has since been used more broadly to thwart attempts to interfere in federal elections.

That's sort of what happens when there are too many laws to keep up with.....Some blood-sucking mouthpiece dredges up some obscure law.

Of course that begets even more blood sucking lawyers defending against it.

If Thanos snapped his fingers and all the lawyers disappeared the world would be a far better place....Not only that but better than half of congress would be gone.
