You can probably trace this back to the Nixon pardon, the post-2008 "Too big to jail" decline in white collar prosecutions, and of course more recently the half hearted Trump prosecution. These are fundamentally political, not legal problems
One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.
Dereliction of responsibility by the court. It is so flagrantly illegal. www.huffpost.com/entry/us-wis...

Marine Le Pen is going to jail and won't be able to run in 2027. Judges have applied the law in a case that has exposed extraordinary amounts of criminal activities. Don't make this a question of public opinion or what the far right and foreign leaders think of it. It's the rule of law at work.

Reminder: Le Pen's trial is not a witch hunt, corrupt politicians are regularly condemned to ineligibility for public office in France, from all political parties. There are 103 pages on Wikipedia covering only the most significant ones: fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat%C3%....

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies.
The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits.
Maybe it's not the judges?
