Recently two Americans wound up dead after traffic stops.

In Texas, 28-year-old Sandra Bland was stopped when she failed to signal while changing lanes.  She was taken into custody where she allegedly committed suicide.

In Ohio, 43-year-old Samuel DuBose was shot dead by a police officer after being stopped for not having a license plate on the front end of his car.

The Ohio cop has been charged with murder.  The Texas woman's case is being investigated by state authorities.

Talking Points does not know what precisely happened, so further comment will wait until the hard evidence is presented.

But the point is that laws -- no matter how trivial -- matter. 

And we the people, including law enforcement, are expected to obey them … all of them.

Enter Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, who took an oath to uphold the Constitution, which includes respecting the laws her own House has passed.

But Mrs. Pelosi openly defies federal immigration laws.

She supports the anarchy of the sanctuary cities and rejects the proposed Kate's Law.

NANCY PELOSI (D-CA), HOUSE MINORITY LEADER: “Mandatory minimum sentences have not been something I have supported. ((EDIT))  I support the sanctuary.”

Now think about that.  If we disobey the law, we are punished.

But Nancy Pelosi does not have to obey federal immigration law?

And she is a member of Congress?

Does that sound like justice to you?

And what about Planned Parenthood?   They receive a half-billion dollars a year from the taxpayer, and now we know some of their operations are selling the body parts of aborted babies.

There are laws against that, federal laws.

Is the FBI investigating Planned Parenthood?   Has President Obama and Attorney General Lynch ordered such an investigation?

Not that we know of.

Today, yet another undercover video was released.  This one showing Planned Parenthood Dr. Savita Ginde describing the harvesting of body parts taken from babies, sometimes more than halfway through their pregnancies:

DR. SAVITA GINDE, VICE PRESIDENT AND MEDICAL DIRECTOR, PLANNED PARENTHOOD OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS: “I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a thymus, maybe I have.  I know I’ve seen livers, I’ve seen stomachs, we’ve seen plenty of neural tissue.  Usually you can see the whole brain usually come out.  You know when you get to 17 or 18 weeks, cause we do some of those.  That’s when you’re doing a lot more of a D&D, and you might get larger.”

BUYER: “Hmm.”

((EDIT))

DR. GINDE: “Well I know putting it under the research gives us a little bit of a, a little sort of overhang over the whole thing.”

BUYER: “It makes it look better.”

DR. GINDE: “Yea.  And in public, I think it makes a lot more sense for it to be in the research vein than I’d say, business venture.”

BUYER: “Right, it’s how we talk about it.”

DR. GINDE:  “Yea!”

BUYER: “It’s how we talk about it.”

((EDIT))

DR. GINDE: “We don’t want to get called on, you know, selling fetal parts across states.”

If that is not enough to make the Justice Department move and Congress to immediately suspend payments to Planned Parenthood, then we don't have a justice system in this country.

The silence from the president and attorney general is insulting and dangerous.

Are you people going to respect the law or not?

Sanctuary cities, are you serious?

They arrogantly disobey the law and get away with it.

Trafficking in baby body parts on the taxpayer dime?  What kind of country is this?

As I said earlier this week, there comes a point when Americans have to decide how much corruption they will tolerate.

All of us have to signal while changing lanes.

Meantime, some politicians only uphold the laws they like.

Disgraceful.

And that's the memo.
