DOJ Declares 'War' on Judges, Forgets Branches of Government
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, speaking at a Federalist Society conference, urged young lawyers to join the 'war' against judges who impede the administration's policy goals. This isn't just rhetoric; it extends to lawmakers pushing to oust judges like James Boasberg for rulings against Trump's agenda, as Axios itself notes. It's almost as if the concept of 'checks and balances' is merely a
suggestion, not a constitutional mandate, when inconvenient. One might wonder if this 'war' on inconvenient judicial opinions will expand. Will we soon see calls to label all dissent as 'rogue' or 'deranged'? The pattern of undermining institutions—from the free press to established electoral processes—seems to suggest that inconvenient truths, whether from judges or journalists, are simply
obstacles to be overcome, not fundamental pillars of democracy.
