I’m going to point out that this article is posted in “The American Conservative.” Of course they’re not going to point out that Republicans are playing fast and loose with the rules. Ethics and legality are secondary considerations to gaining and keeping power.

From Francis Wilhoit:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
