“Today it appears to many former DOJ employees and officials that the cathedral of justice is being dismantled stone by stone.”
Fmr. AG Alberto Gonzales on what it will take to restore the rule of law and regain the confidence of the American people.
"Perhaps it is too late to restore separation of powers in matters of war. But the continuing survival of our Republic as framed by our Constitution demands that we do not give up the fight..."
Our charter member Richard Bernstein makes that case in Checks & Balances.
"Is this what a military takeover of the civil justice system might look like?"
Garri Hendell, Lt. Colonel in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, on why deputizing military lawyers for immigration enforcement is bound to fail.
"We enact criminal laws that make victims out of the very people they are enacted to save."
Matthew P. Cavedon, Director of Cato's Project on Criminal Justice, on the cruel compassion of American criminal law.
The argument of our time comes down to one question: Are we going to have the rule of law in America or not?
The rule of law requires an active defense. We're making that case in Checks & Balances, our new newsletter.

“The lower federal courts have honored their oaths to the Constitution over the past 10 months.”
— Judge Michael Luttig, at the SRL Summit
ICYMI: Judge Michael Luttig spoke powerfully at last month’s Summit about the Supreme Court.
“The only power it has, and the only power it has to wield on behalf of the American people, is the power of its persuasion.”
Today, that principle matters more than ever.

“The administration is filling these roles not because of legal expertise or service to the rule of law, but because of loyalty to the President and a willingness to put his personal interests above the law.”

We commend Mr. Siebert, and the scores of federal prosecutors before him, many of them our fellow conservatives, who had the principles and the courage to choose honorable resignation rather than disgraceful complicity in assaults on the rule of law.
(🧵/ 2)
The Society for the Rule of Law Institute condemns the president’s treatment of U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert, his weaponization of the Justice Department, and those attorneys in his service who have betrayed their oaths and ethical obligations to enable this conduct.
