Who Is Running This Coordinated Campaign To Delegitimize The Supreme Court?
MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: It’s obviously not just an effort by the media, but a larger effort by the left to delegitimize the Supreme Court. They feel this is the one institution that they haven’t captured, they’re upset that some decisions have not gone their way and they’re trying to bully.
What’s interesting about these stories is they sort of allege something nefarious without explaining what the nefarious thing is, and so there’s no crime involved. They’ll say we wish that the rules were different so that he would have had to disclose this thing that he didn’t have to disclose according to the rules. I’m very interested in who’s organizing this concerted effort. You’ve got multiple media companies, it’s all a very well-laid-out PR strategy, that would be that would good for the media to look into, who’s running this organized effort to take on the court?…
You have justices on the left who have done all sorts of things that actually violated ethics rules. Like Ruth Bader Ginsburg signing her opinion and donating it for a pro-abortion fundraiser, which is completely — you’re not supposed to be involved in that kind of political activity. Probably he understands that the media are willing to go after the Thomases in particular, and have been for decades, and so one’s even alleging there was something wrong here, there was something that needed to be disclosed. But it’s just part of this coordinated campaign that people should be very leery of.
