OPINION
Beating leftist tyranny doesn't mean embracing lawlessness

Over at Townhall this morning, Kurt Schlichter casually advocates for anarchy. Republicans should get over all that rule of law business, he argues, because adhering to principle only ever helped the Left and hurt the Right. Liberals always fight dirty, so why can't conservatives?
It's a familiar and tempting argument to the conservative faithful who have long been let down by overpromising and underperforming politicians. It's also childish, whiny, and desperate—exactly what a six-year-old Thrasymachus might say on the school yard.
At issue is President Trump's pardon of Arizona's notorious ex-Sherriff Joe Arpaio. Schlichter says the pardon was necessary to "deny the enemy the head" of the convicted lawman, and he believes it was appropriate because "undoing injustice" is why the power exists. To do otherwise, to let the legal system work, would be tantamount to surrender.
No one, except maybe a dim witted senator from California, would deny the second point. At the same time, nobody familiar with the record of the disgraced lawman would consider pardoning Arpaio a conservative victory.
