We hear a lot of scary stories from the Democrats about Trump wanting to jail his political opponents, even though he’s condemned the type of lawfare they’ve been using to try to jail him. But Trump is hardly the only victim of Democrat zealots abusing their power to jail their opponents. Just ask the people jailed for stepping inside an open door at the Capitol on January 6^th and looking around for a minute before leaving. Or the peaceful pro-life protesters, some elderly and frail and one who survived concentration camps before coming to America, only to be imprisoned under the unconstitutional FACE Act for praying at an abortion clinic.

And here’s the latest injustice: Former Stockton, California, fire chief Ron Hittle was fired for attending a leadership conference in a church building. City officials claimed he attended a “religious event” while on duty as justification for firing him. But not only have speakers such as Bill Clinton appeared at that conference, his attorneys say the firing was a clear violation of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act barring religious discrimination. A lower court judge sided with the city, but the Liberty Institute is asking the Supreme Court to intervene and restore him to his job.

And of course, this isn’t limited to the US. Just ask the British Army veteran who was fined $12,000 and given a two-year conditional discharge for bowing his head and saying a silent prayer for his dead son in a “safe zone” around an abortion clinic where any activity supporting or denouncing abortion is prohibited. Yes, the police actually demanded to know the “nature of his prayer,” and the judge called his actions “deliberate.”

The sentence is being denounced as “outrageous,” like something out of Orwell’s “1984,” and one attorney said the country can "hardly sink any lower" in the abuse of basic human rights. The defendant said, “Today, the court has decided that certain thoughts – silent thoughts – can be illegal in the United Kingdom. That can’t be right.”

It isn’t right, but it’s up to the British people to remove from power those who abuse it, just as we did in 1776 and I hope we're about to do in November, 2024. As for that judge who sentenced him, I wouldn’t want to be her when she has to stand in front of the ultimate judge and explain why she thinks silent prayer is a criminal offense.
