republicans believe the purpose of law is to bind others in order to protect them, not to bind them in order to protect others.
They believe in rule through law, not rule of law.

Judge denies Mark Meadows effort to move Georgia case to federal court (msn.com)
A federal judge denied a request Friday from former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to move the Georgia election-interference case against him from state to federal court, a shift he had sought on the grounds that he was a federal officer at the time of the actions that led to his indictment.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Steve C. Jones in the Atlanta-based Northern District of Georgia represents a setback for Meadows, who had asked for removal under a federal law that allows people charged with crimes while carrying out their official duties to be prosecuted in federal court, even in cases involving state law and state prosecutors.
Meadows had hoped a move to federal court could lead to a quick dismissal of the case against him because he had argued to Jones that as a federal officer, he is immune from prosecution for acts taken in the course of his normal work.

^ Good news, because the chump is attempting the same gambit. There will be precedent.

It's good news, but he ruled that one of the overt acts "might" fall under the color of his official duties. Because of how he interpreted the RICO statute, that wasn't sufficient, but that could provide the pretext for a circuit court or those Nazis at SCOTUS to reverse the decision.

Saudi Arabian cattle are being fed on millions and millions of gallons of Arizona’s underground aquifers.
3,000 gallons of water per minute is used to grow alfalfa in Arizona which is then exported back to Saudi Arabia as cattle feed.
The fundamental question is whether Arizona's groundwater should primarily serve its residents or be utilized for Saudi Arabian livestock.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
