Not for drumpf and his cronies, or his followers for that matter. Pardons, judge rulings, Department of Injustice. They can lie to the FBI, use their power to fuck over Democratic pols and poliies, threaten and attack people in stores and on the streets, refuse to follow or enforce laws they don't like, and practice corruption openly to a degree never seen in this country. Remember those who told us the judges would follow the law? Or that everything was going to be ok? Well it's not and hasn't been since before he took office. Anyone who thinks otherwise has got their head in the sand.

There is no reliable law system anymore, corrupt to the core with GOP lackeys.
