🧠 Constitutional Outrage, Now Available in Select Flavors Only: How Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove Found Her Spine for Tulsi Gabbard, But Not for Michael Taylor
> “Your blatant misuse of your position… is not only a moral failure, but a glaring betrayal of the very Constitution that you swore an oath to uphold.”
— Congress, to Tulsi Gabbard, July 25, 2025
This is what Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove co-signed in a scorching rebuke of the Director of National Intelligence, after Tulsi Gabbard released documents implicating former President Obama’s administration in politically motivated intelligence operations.
The letter hit every high note of patriotic theater:
Truth was under attack.
The Constitution was being betrayed.
“Integrity must be restored.”
Tulsi Gabbard needed to resign for disrespecting due process and misleading the public.
All very moving. Very constitutional.
Very on brand.
Now let’s talk about what Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove did when actual constitutional violations landed directly in her inbox.

⚖️ When the Constitution is Optional: Exhibit A
On May 15, 2025, defendant Michael Taylor wrote a detailed, evidence-supported request for assistance to Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove. Not just complaining — but citing statutes, court minute orders, sealed proceedings, procedural defects, and names of the judges who oversaw his illegal psychiatric commitment without a court order.
He made it clear:
> “This is not an appeal of rulings… but an allegation of misconduct arising from serious procedural violations by two judges… whose actions and omissions violated California statutory law and my federally protected constitutional rights.”
And his ask?
Basic constitutional protection — from unlawful government acts, retaliation by his own attorney, and the weaponization of psychiatric processes without judicial authority.
He even cited 42 U.S.C. § 1983, All Writs Act, and a looming court date where he feared remand for exercising his rights.
He closed with a heartbreaking appeal:
> “I shouldn’t be punished for following the rules and obeying the law.”
So what did Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove say?
Let’s check:
> “Matters involving legal proceedings… fall outside the jurisdiction and authority of a congressional office… Contact Bet Tzedek.”
Nothing about verifying the unlawful psychiatric hold.
Nothing about investigating judicial misconduct.
Nothing about protecting a constituent from a rogue courtroom.
Just a boilerplate punt to a nonprofit, and the political equivalent of a shrug.

🪞 Mirror, Mirror on the Hill
Compare again:
> “You said yourself that ‘egregious abuse of power and blatant rejection of our Constitution threatens the very foundation of our democratic republic.’ We agree…”
— Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove to Tulsi Gabbard
And yet when her own constituent documented:
A court evaluation conducted without a judge’s order
A jurisdictional transfer never authorized by law
A mental health commitment that disenfranchised him
A defense lawyer threatening competency for asserting rights
A sealed Marsden hearing denying him recourse
A fraud upon the court confirmed by timestamped documents
Her response?
> "We appreciate your understanding and wish you strength and clarity."
The same Congresswoman who publicly demanded a resignation over document releases in Washington, D.C., couldn’t lift a finger to verify whether a defendant had been unlawfully imprisoned in Los Angeles County.

🧩 Selective Constitutionalism Is Still Constitutional Betrayal
Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove did not lack jurisdiction.
She lacked political incentive.
Her July 25 letter to Gabbard was performative patriotism — because in real constitutional emergencies, she abandoned the field.
She joined Congress in proclaiming:
> “The Intelligence Community must be guided by objectivity, professionalism, and fidelity to the facts…”
But when the facts came from a constituent, and not a political enemy?
🧼 Washed her hands like Pontius Pilate.
📤 Forwarded him to a legal aid hotline.
📪 Closed the case.

🎭 The Takeaway
When Michael Taylor warned that state officials were coercing him to participate in a fraudulent criminal proceeding, Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove invoked jurisdictional limits.
When Tulsi Gabbard released intelligence memos that embarrassed the Democratic establishment, Kamlager-Dove declared:
> “You have politicized your office… undermined public trust… embarrassed the very institution you were entrusted to lead.”
It’s a stunning performance of dual loyalties — to the Constitution when it’s politically safe, and to silence when it isn’t.
