Dear Editor...After 250 years of world-shattering success, could it be that the nation's Rule of Law --- managed and executed by our 'Third Estate' --- is now breaking bad!!!

Only 3 weeks ago a horrendous gang shootout and murder of three teenagers shattered Las Cruces; and presently, a Las Cruces judge...no, not an innocent Cruceño homeowner but a Magistrate who presides over the New Mexico Judicial System...was just found harboring a tren de aragua vicious migrant gang-member in his own home!!!

Ken Burns, to celebrate the nation's semiquincentennial, will soon air a new PBS special, and we will be celebrating that the Founders carefully crafted certain guarantees to foster a prosperous civil society, including (a) personal property rights, (b) trial by juries of peers, and (c) IMPARTIALITY by the justice system...pictified in courthouses across the nation as a blindfolded mature woman administering justice fairly and equally. Today, 250 years into our American journey, Judges now act partially, politically, capriciously, imperiously, impulsively, impetuously.

Most insidiously, newly crafted 'modus operandi' of preferential treatment (AA, affirmative action; DEI & ESG) are infecting and disabling our Judicial systems. Judges today may now enforce one law, the same law, differently: depending on the issue, or depending on the person.

Judge Cano of Las Cruces and Judge Dugan of Milwaukee are two such examples of judges amending, superseding or ignoring the law. Whereas in the American Judicial System for 250 years, judges --- righteously!!! --- followed and enforced the laws and The Constitution; today, judges --- just as righteously!!! --- interpret the laws and The Constitution...one way maybe for one person or issue, and maybe entirely differently for another person/issue.

From across the border, should we, do you think, ask President Claudia Sheinbaum for her advice, as she has long experience with a debased rule of law and likewise, oversees a corrupted Judicial System in Sinaloa and beyond?

To Protect The Innocent these days...do we ban guns, or do we ban judges???
