The Eagle Forum is not a party to the lawsuit. Yet the Justice Department has served what is referred to as a third-party subpoena on the Eagle Forum. This subpoena outrageously demands that the Eagle Forum and its members turn over all:

• information and communications it has or engaged in over the law and any predecessor bills;
• materials that were considered by the Forum connected to the legislation or any draft or model bills;
• documents concerning the Forum’s “legislative or policy goals, initiatives, and/or strategies relating to medical care or treatment of transgender minors, or minors with gender dysphoria”;
• communications with—and testimony, letters, reports, etc., sent to—state legislators or their staff; and any other government agencies and officials in Alabama over the legislation;
• communications with any other nongovernmental organizations over the legislation;
• internal minutes and records of meetings, polling and public opinion data, video presentations and speeches, newsletters and emails, and social media postings related to the legislation.

In other words, the Justice Department wants to turn the Eagle Forum inside out, forcing it to turn over its records on everything it does. This would let government lawyers paw through and scrutinize everything, including privileged communications and even personal discussions and communications with other private citizens and nonprofit organizations.

Trump needs to speak about this. Other allied conservative groups like Judicial Watch and Accuracy in Media need to finance some good lawyers that can cause DOJ some headaches.

This is why decent, rational people do not take unsolicited calls from strangers purporting to be pollsters and then go on to discuss their political beliefs and preferences. That data would find its way on a government data base. Soon a visit from the FBI, difficulty finding employment or even banking services will follow.

Decent, rational people are underrepresented in polls.

BTW it would be nice if the Eagle Forum could personally sue the government individuals who violated their constitutional rights.

Thanks to demoncrats and the Justice Dept, we live in a Banana Republic.

And the subpoena should be responded to with a few reams of paper alternating with pages of a quote of the 5th & 1st amendments and the next page with a picture of an upraised tall finger... About 20 cases of copier paper worth should get the message even to the DoJ a-holes

“Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech or of the press...or the right of the people...to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

It would be nice if a court were to actually stop the DOJ from doing this sort of thing but they all seem to be corrupted too.

”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...

No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...

The Aamerican people understand that the First Amendment calls for them to:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...

From the article:

“No doubt at some point they’ll be claiming it’s unsafe for them, that the people who are shocked by what they’re doing are actually the criminals here and that they’re getting threatening phone calls,” Carlson said. “They’re going to call the DOJ and anyone who comments on it is going to get a visit from the FBI. But the truth is, people who are horrified by this are not the bad actors.”
