What will be the endgame of all these attacks on the American legal system and the warping of it for blatant political purposes?
None of the five civil and criminal cases currently lodged against former President Donald Trump have ever had merit. They were all predicated on using the law to injure his re-election candidacy—given a widespread derangement syndrome among the left and a fear they cannot entrust a Trump/Biden election to the people.
These criminal and civil trials are merely the continuation of extra-legal efforts of the last eight years to destroy a presidential candidate in lieu of opposing him in transparent elections.
As such, the current lawfare joins the Mueller investigation of the Russian-collusion hoax. It is a continuation of the laptop disinformation caper and the “51 intelligence authorities” who lied about its Russian origins. It logically follows from the two impeachments, the Senate trial of Trump as a private citizen, and states’ efforts to remove him from their ballots.
The E. Jean Carroll case, the Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, and Fani Willis local and state trials, and the Smith federal indictment share various embarrassments.
Suspension of statutes of limitations: Carroll and Bragg could only go to court through the legal gymnastics of enlisting sympathetic judges and legislators to change or amend the law to suspend the statute of limitations as a veritable bill of attainder to go after Trump.
Violations of the Bill of Rights: In the Bragg case, Judge Merchan’s selective and asymmetrical gag order likely violates the First Amendment (prohibiting “abridging the freedom of speech”). Bragg violated the Sixth Amendment by denying Trump the right “to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation”. Judge Engoron, in the juryless James case, violated the Eighth Amendment (“nor excessive fines imposed”)

SCOTUS has more pressing things to rule on like how many weeks is it ok to have an abortion and the rights of ILLEGAL aliens.
When you really need the SCrOTUS to step in, they are not there.
Maybe we can outlaw the laws.
This is President Trump's forte.
He is Toto in The Wizard of Oz, pulling aside the curtain so we can see the greasy criminals running the rigged and corrupt American system.
God love him.
aka "The Supreme Fart"...
Early on VDH was a Stanford never-Trumper stooge. He quickly saw the light after Trump was elected President.
And after a week or so of victory dance, shift gears to denouncing conspiracy theories about the killing.
The left will face earnest prosecution, if Trump wins in 2024.

I have serious divergence with VDH
but I watch him
That Aussie pol podcaster author John Anderson dies best interviews with him
I watched this one last nite
Did u watch it
He was wrong a few times
He claimed mayors in red states don’t tolerate nonsense like in blue states
Bullshit
In Memphis and Nashville they sure do
I always watch him he’s very erudite
But not always right
Yes, when the American People need the Supreme Court as desperately as ever in history, the justices prove feckless, incompetent, and paralysed by the lack courage and moral and intellectual clarity.
I have no doubt - after seeing these insane lawfare attacks - that these people will also allow voter fraud from their base.
I watched this “John Anderson interviews VDH” last night, sounds like it could be the same one:
“The Presidential Election, Failing Higher Education and The End of Everything | Victor Davis Hanson”

VDH reminds me of what the late Larry Auster said regarding Dennis Prager- “a confused liberal”. A common affliction of the neoconservative; they want big government interfering with personal liberty when it does something that they like, such as LBJ’s civil rights act. But then they are surprised when that same power that they have granted big government is used to destructive ends as in DEI and affirmitive action.
It’s been a very long time since conservative meant limiting the power and reach of big government. Now it often means conserving the latest advances of bipartisan liberals against the more vicious plans of progressives and socialists.
Agree w all but the last sentence……
Too true. Even at this late date Hanson has yet to accept the 2020 election was stolen. I'm thinking someone will have to treat him like a bad puppy and rub his nose in it.
Also a south basher
Makes Shapiro look like Judah Benjamen
True
Meal ticket or true affection
Who knows
The editors at Chronicles have long had VDH pegged. Neocons are on your side until they aren’t. VDH isn’t Bill Kristol bad, but like the rest he’s anti-paleo at his core. And paleo is where MAGA originated in the 1990s, with the writing of Sam Francis and Pat Buchanan.
