Would the Law the Huckabees Championed Apply to Joseph Duggar?

“Creating a hardship for the family unit.” That’s how Joseph Duggar’s attorney described the no-contact order that bars him from unsupervised contact with his own four children. A judge imposed that order after reviewing charges that include a life felony. And now the defense wants it loosened — while the state Joseph lives in has a law on the books that says crimes like the ones he’s allegedly accused of can be punished by death.

Tony Brueski walks through the Duggar-Huckabee political relationship that spans two decades, two presidential campaigns, and one signed death penalty law — and the silence that followed when Joseph Duggar was arrested. He digs into the emails Jim Bob sent his son in jail comparing him to biblical heroes and telling him to “make lemonade out of lemons.” He reads Josh Duggar’s prison correspondence claiming God wants him back in politics doing criminal justice reform. And he asks the question this family and everyone around them keeps dodging: if the laws you championed say this behavior deserves death, why does your response change when it’s your son, your brother, your political ally?

An opinion piece that holds every name in this story to the standard they set for everyone else. No exceptions. No carve-outs. No lemonade.
