Leftist Lawfare

Today’s neo-Marxist left is committed to waging lawfare to crush, imprison, intimidate, and bankrupt their political opponents -- us. They are obviously doing it to Donald Trump.

But every week there are more examples of how they are doing it to other normal citizens, elected conservatives, and the heads of conservative organizations fighting for conservative values.

The Federalist Society has played a major role in helping presidents identify conservative individuals to fill judicial vacancies, including Supreme Court vacancies.

The left is furious that it no longer owns the Supreme Court and that the court is no longer doing the left’s dirty work. You know, taking prayer out of school, changing the meaning of marriage, pushing abortion on demand -- all the radical culture war changes in America.

We have the Supreme Court right now, and the left is dedicated to reversing that. If Biden wins, they are likely to succeed.

Right now, progressives are pushing legislation to force the justices (i.e., the conservative justices) to recuse themselves from any case involving any issue they have ever expressed an opinion about.

They can’t subpoena the justices, so they are going after the head of the Federalist Society, Leonard Leo, a well-known friend of Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.

Under pressure from dark money left-wing groups, Senators Durbin (D-IL) and Whitehouse (D-RI) are demanding all of Leo’s records, letters, and any communications with current justices of the Supreme Court.

This is a disgusting and dangerous extension of neo-Marxist lawfare. Leo is a private citizen. There is no legitimate legislative or oversight purpose in going after a private citizen.

But this isn’t a legitimate exercise. It is an exercise in raw political power meant to intimidate Leo and other conservatives.

It also proves that any hope of America coming together in an extraordinary commitment to bipartisanship is nothing more than a vain hope. The neo-Marxist left intends to rule by crushing us.

And our side is still led by many people who yearn for a return to the 1950s, which will never happen, and who believe the problem is conservatives who fight back.
