Attorney General Bill Barr launched into an emotional tirade against “the left” at an annual meeting of the conservative Federalist Society on Friday evening. Now, lawyers and legal commentators are intensifying calls for Barr’s impeachment.
Barr’s eyebrow-raising speech was widely-panned after a video of the following portion made the rounds on social media:
Unfortunately through the past few years we have seen these conflicts take on an entirely new character. Immediately after President Trump won election, opponents inaugurated what they called ‘The Resistance’ and they rallied around an explicit strategy of using every tool and maneuver to sabotage the functioning of the executive branch and his administration. The fact of the matter is: that in waging a scorched earth, no holds-barred war of resistance against this administration, it is the left that is engaged in the systemic shredding of norms and undermining the rule of law.
The Federalist Society is a judicial activism group which pushes for an “originalist” understanding of the U.S. Constitution and a return to pre-New Deal interpretations of law. The organization has been heavily involved in staffing President Donald Trump‘s judicial picks–essentially serving as a pipeline for conservative federal judges.

SOP Shoot the messenger
I guess this is a left wing site????
Now were going to impeach Barr..
A little more here
NAACP’s Legal Defense and Educational Fund. She also had some words for Barr’s telling Friday speech–noting her long opposition to the attorney general.
“I have warned for some time that AG Barr is the most alarming figure in the Administration,” Ifill tweeted. “A true believer who has been waiting for his moment and pitched hard for this job. He has an agenda and political view that is lockstep with Trump.”
The incendiary speech also prompted the widespread use of #ImpeachBarr and #DisbarBarr hashtags on Twitter–criticism that was only amplified after people realized Barr’s broadside against left-leaning lawsuits and subpoenas was promoted by the Department of Justice’s official Twitter account
YAWN , another impeachment ,LOL
Commies want their own America..so they should go create one..move to Venezuela or have their own island and they can have all the commie policies they want..and they can leave the rest of us the heck alone
Impeach him for daring to suggest that the government should follow the law.
I’ll want him impeached too if he doesn’t bring certain people to justice.
He has all the power he needs now so there’s really no excuse.
Sounds like gurgling coming from the depths of the Swamp.
Further PROOF that EVERY DAY we let these arsewipes walk, they get a chance to get on the tube and rant and rave, and FINALLY when (AND IF) the hammer drops, they ALL will get up and cry they really did nothing wrong, it is/was all being blown out of proportion for them having the ‘guts’ to speak out against the regime and now the regime is wrongly punishing us.
True or false, all the ‘headline reading’ crowd see is that slant and very few get to the bottom of column six to see a disclaimer that the ‘above’ may be not quite as it seems...
Like we used to say....(Get their attention)
Grab ‘em by the ‘gonads’, the heart and mind soon follow.
These people have impeach on the brain. So deranged. Heard some wound up lefty at work one day call for the impeachment of Hannity. I felt it would be a waste of time to try and explain to them that Hannity worked in the private sector.
Dan Abrams site. Couldn’t be further batshit leftist.
Ignore.
Barr is over target.
Marxists take any and all reasonable attack’s upon them as some sort crime based on whatever they feel will work. Cries of Racism...Sexism....anti LGBTQWERTY. It’s a crime it seems to think and talk normally.
Widely panned?
I believe that Barr is about to back up everything he is saying. For the first time in many years the deepstate might get to see what real justice looks like.
Lets impeach everybody in the whole world!!
Widely panned?
Rats can get quite snarly when cornered.
I would bet Ifill had no problem with Holder having an agenda and being in lockstep with Obummer....
Oh brother
