One of the foundational ideals of a free nation is that all its citizens live under the same rules.Democrats know this: They’ve been lecturing us for years that “no one is above the law.”So what happens if a federal investigation into Rep.Ilhan Omar provides incontrovertible evidence that she obtained citizenship by lying?Should we ignore it?Should Omar be given an exemption from the law because she’s in Congress?Or because she’s a Democrat?Those on the left carping that the Omar investigation is politically motivated can’t be taken seriously.Not after they spent a decade engaged in blatant lawfare — first by attempting to annul the 2016 election of Donald Trump by concocting one lurid conspiracy theory after the next, and then by trying to stop him from running for the presidency in 2024.When you spend your time stripping away norms, you can’t expect the other side to unilaterally disarm.The court and the Justice Department debated the warrant to search Omar’s residences for weeks before it was finally issued, The New York Times reported.Courts are in a separate branch of government for an important reason, and they should be highly suspicious of any case that appears to involve abuse of the legal system for political reasons.But the fact that a Biden-era US magistrate judge in Washington, DC, believed there was probable cause for a raid tells us that there’s at least something here worth investigating.Or, as Rep.
