Full post on this coming soon, but a reader has reserved a bunch of very nice campsites near Medford, Oregon for June 24-27, next to the river. Save the date, if you want to come. Tom Nichols and Anne Applebaum warmly invited.

People like Pomerantz have operated as if treating the famous speech by then-attorney general and future Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson not as a warning, but a how-to guide. It was he who said that “the most dangerous power of the prosecutor” is the ability to “pick people that he thinks he should get, rather than pick cases that need to be prosecuted.” Jackson explained that, given the variety of laws on the books, “A prosecutor stands a fair chance of finding at least a technical violation of some act on the part of almost anyone.”

Democrats have decided to sacrifice higher-order values in order to engage in blatantly political selective prosecutions, and it ought to worry fair-minded people regardless of political persuasion.
