Here Paul, and a guy named Jason Willick would tell us that this is just a “brawl” with the judiciary — with Trump as a legitimate protagonist.
Not so.
This is Trump, trying to end the system of ordered liberty we’ve relied on for over 240 years.
This is Trump, saying he is beyond any judicial review process.
And Mirengoff, Willick and Hayward all should recognize that what they do here is legitimize… insurrection.
John Hinderaker, for his part — and childishly so — last evening, started making AI generated images of a judge who has ruled against Hegseth on who all might lawfully and honorably serve in our armed forces. The ham-handed goal of Hinderaker is to demoralize and demonize her.
She is openly lesbian. John thinks it humorous to try to equate her with some weird freak show — simply for saying that people with gender dysphoria can also be warriors, as many studies have confirmed.
I find it… all deplorable that the frothy hard right uses personal attacks in place of arguments on actual policies — and doubly so, given that Trump is threatening the very lives of several of these federal court judges. [We should note that his own late sister, a federal judge, in Maryland, had ruled that he cannot use the statute he’s now trying to use against Mr. Khalil, from last time around — to deport green card holders. But perhaps surprisingly, it does not seem that he tried to have her killed.]
The boys should find Trump’s dangerously escalating moves toward violence disturbing, too.
Sit the F- down, boys. Stop gilding the lily. Damn.
You have no legitimate argument here — to target federal judges with violence.
Just shut up.
