Todd Talk | When Judges Think They Are the Law
A 60-second conservative commentary with humor and heart.
My friends, our nation was built on truth, liberty, and justice under law — not under rulers.
And that distinction matters.
I saw a story out of Nebraska that should stop us in our tracks. Two men. Same horrific crime. Both pleaded guilty. But they received vastly different sentences.
One judge sentenced a defendant to decades in prison. Another judge sentenced the co-defendant to just three years — for the same exact crime.
And when questioned, the judge who issued the lighter sentence reportedly said, “I am the law.”
No, sir — you are not.
In America, no one is the law. We are a nation under law. Judges are supposed to apply it, not replace it.
That kind of thinking is dangerous — and it cannot be allowed to stand.
