Preservation of our First Amendment Rights is Paramount (substack.com)
There was an attempt on Justice Kavanaugh’s life. For which President Biden and the media were mostly silent. The Supreme justices must now travel in armoured cars and have full time security.
"After the leak of Justice’s Alito opinion on the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case, there has been an organized campaign to attack the Supreme court’s legitimacy, which really began years ago. The Wall Street Journal writes:
But as the court has grown more conservative in recent years, the left has stepped up the attacks on the court’s “legitimacy,” including character assassination of individual justices, with little objection from mainstream Democrats and plenty of help from the media.
Justice Alito says “this type of concerted attack on the court and on individual justices” is “new during my lifetime. . . . We are being hammered daily, and I think quite unfairly in a lot of instances. And nobody, practically nobody, is defending us.
The idea has always been that judges are not supposed to respond to criticisms, but if the courts are being unfairly attacked, the organized bar will come to their defense.” Instead, “if anything, they’ve participated to some degree in these attacks.”
Judges are in a double bind: If they don’t respond, the attacks stand. If they do, they diminish the mystique on which judicial authority depends.
"Although this article is in the Wall Street Journal, one could argue that for the most part, these attacks have come from almost all of the main stream media sources, not just the “left”. For instance, there are hit pieces calling for more oversight of the Supreme court and highlighted alleged ethics violations in Bloomberg, Yahoo News, as well as just about every legacy corporate media outlet that you can think of. One has to ask, has there been some sort of organizing element to these attacks on the Supreme court?". . .
