Can anyone explain why these exact same tactics could not be used against liberal organizations like planned parenthood?

I’ll try. In several recent cases radical, elected prosecutors, attorneys general, etc. have demonstrated that the cause is much more important than the law, or to put it another way, the law is servant to the cause.

You have the case in Minn. where the Attorney General, a radical, has charged four police with murder and has kept the entire video of the arrest of St. George from the public. You have the prosecutor in St. Louis who forgives criminal breaking and entering/trespassing but charges the homeowners who displayed weapons to a mob. You have the case in California where undercover investigators expose Planned Parenthood’s sale of baby parts, and promptly charges the makers of the video. I could go on.

People on our side believe the law is something to be respected. We don’t prosecute people for not agreeing with us. We try to see that taxpayer money does not go to fund abortions. We write laws that require abortionists to conform to medical standards for medical clinics.

They are using law fare to make war on us. Maybe we respect the law too much to do the same to them.

They've been selling baby parts and remain unindicted. Must be they're among the "protected".

Because you have to 1) have an AG willing to take on Planned Parenthood with cajones, taking on the NRA does not require cajones when the supporters do not have cajones.2) The AG has to have really deep support from all levels of government, not only the state level but those in DC and lastly, because repubes and demoncrats are one in the same, meaning that once they take law-abiding citizen’s guns, they can now control you in everything you do. Gun rights are the last bastion of the republic and the Constitution as Freedom of Speech as a right has already been compromised.

Because Republicans don't think that ruthlessly strategic.

Look at Florida in 2018. Despite campaigning hard for Governor, the only statewide office that Democrats won was the Agriculture Commissioner.

Why did Democrats try so hard for the Ag Commissioner? Because in Florida, the Agriculture Commissioner is responsible for approving gun license applications.
