This 1:14 video of a CBS News 60 Minutes broadcast shows law professor Ryan Goodman (NYU) discussing how MAGA's Department of Justice lawyers do lawsuits. Sometimes they simply fabricate evidence. The line between the rule of law standing as a pro-democracy principle has fallen to MAGA's morally rotted authoritarianism and kleptocracy. That does not mean the law doesn't apply more or less as usual to most average people. For us as individuals, the law is still basically intact. But for some people, groups and entities or corporations, MAGA elites now decide what the law is and isn't. That is the epitome of a dictatorship or authoritarian regime.
Goodman found 35 lawsuits where MAGA lawyers submitted faked evidence. They flat-out lied to the court.
So, when it is inconvenient for MAGA to vindicate the rule of law for some criminal, traitor, pervert or killer, federal law gets conveniently ignored. When an opponent or alleged enemy of Trump is targeted, federal law is used or abused to nail them.
It is frightening and discouraging that there appears to be no serious repercussions for sleazy Trump lawyers lying to judges. Apparently the lying is whitewashed by Trump lawyers denying they fabricated evidence, and being the end of it, or by people letting them off the hook as "incompetent". Either way, the rule of law bites the dust.
