Critical Race Theory has become the central issue in American politics over the past year, thanks largely to the efforts of commentators like Christopher Rufo and army of grassroots parent activists standing up against the anti-white, anti-American poison being taught in American schools.
But Critical Race Theory, or CRT, didn’t originate in America’s primary schools. CRT began as a legal doctrine within America’s law schools — and it is in this capacity that it can still do the most damage.
Case in point: A federal judge in Nevada just recently demonstrated the potential of CRT as a legal doctrine in what might be called America’s first entirely CRT-driven constitutional ruling. If allowed to stand, this ruling would enshrine open borders as a permanent feature of American law.
The case in question hinges on the fate of Carrillo-Lopez, a Mexican national and career criminal with a dizzying array of aliases.
Police arrested Lopez in June 2019 for trafficking in meth, heroin, cocaine, and illegal guns. In early 2020 he was given a life sentence.
United States Federal authorities deported Carillo-Lopez in both 1999 and in 2012. Carillo-Lopez managed to re-enter the United States for a third time, for which he now faces a felony case for illegal re-entry.
That is, Carillo-Lopez did face a felony case until Obama-appointed District Court Judge Miranda Du nixed it. Why on earth would she do that? Well, according to Judge Du’s elevated legal reasoning, punishing illegal entrants into America is presumptively racist. Of course!

The leftists in government are handing our country to the invaders.
lawyers are products of academia ...
She was also the main force behind the rigging of the 2020 Nevada presidential "election"...
The legal doctrine of “disparate impact” is perhaps the most pernicious and formidable tool in the arsenal of those who would advance CRT in the courts.
Nominated by Obama..
What could go wrong.....
The perversion of the judiciary is perhaps the most lethal accomplishment of the Leftist march toward police state.
James Burnham did what I think is a well-done and insightful essay in 1964.
Suicide of the West: An Essay on the Meaning and Destiny of Liberalism
Just from memory, Burnham's thesis is that abandonment of moral and cultural absolutes is the root cause of death of civilizations. Liberals reject moral absolutes as well as cultural norms, and the result is inevitable.
He also agrues that a civilization that fails to hold itself as superior to other civilizations, will die.
Seeing as how liberals are doing all this on purpose, it follows that liberals intend to commit civilization suicide. None of this is accident, they WANT to destroy Western Civ. Suicide is a purposeful action, not an accident.
Most of the institutions in Western Civ are deeply infested. I think the rot is so deep as to render the civilization unsalvagable - and I also view the institutions as a threat and a danger. Not to be repsected, but to be fought tooth and nail.
Education, law, courts, congress, churches for the most part. We're in a tough spot. Need a few leaders to spark resistance.
I think the perversion of church is more important ...
But to agree with your point, the judiciary is one facet of the legal industry, which overlaps in large part with the legislation and rent seeking industries. It's not just the judges that are screwing us, it is also the lawyers (I have a JD, so speaking from a bit of inside awareness), the regulatory "bar" institutions, prosecutors ... and legislators driven by lawyer lobbyists. Maybe doctors are more arrogant, I don;t know. But the legal profession fancies itself to be masters of the universe.
Basic education could put lawyers, propagandists (aka journalists) in their place, but the ability to reason and to value personal independence has to be instilled at a young age. Educators are a damaging lot too - they prey on human desire to be part of the pack, which stifles independent thought.
Law is a tool. It should not be the master.
Its a Brave New World.
