Liberal Lawfare 2.0: Left-wing Activist Judges’ Plan to Stop Trump | Victor Davis Hanson

Despite winning the electoral college, and popular vote, President Donald Trump continues to face numerous legal roadblocks as he tries to fulfill his campaign promises, such as reigning in mass illegal immigration and protecting Jewish students on college campuses. Well-funded liberal organizations and left-wing activist judges have launched a full-court-press to seemingly block everything Trump is doing, which is eerily similar to the 2022-24 lawfare period, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:” “This is very analogous—cherry-picking left-wing judges is very analogous to what we watched all during the 2022-24 lawfare period. You remember Judge [Arthur] Engoron, Judge [Juan] Merchan, and Judge [Lewis] Kaplan—he was the judge in the E. Jean Carroll [case]. And we had the Alvin Bragg judge and the Letitia James. They were all—like these judges, they had two things in common: They were left-wing activist judges, appointed by either Biden, Obama, or Bill Clinton. And they had minor to major conflicts of interest where people in their family were big, either had worked for a prior Democratic administration or themselves were activists. “And what did they do? They tried to put Donald Trump in jail. “That same lawfare has now been transmogrified and put into a more concerted effort to stop everything that Donald Trump is trying to do. And what he's trying to do, remember, is not radical. It's just simply to enforce immigration law. It's just simply to bring back the country to the middle.” Don’t miss out on Victor’s latest videos by subscribing to The Daily Signal today.
