TRUMP LAWFARE UPDATE. Former President Donald Trump’s victory in the Supreme Court 14th Amendment case, together with delay and disorder in the criminal cases against him, has set off panic among Democrats who hoped to use prosecutions and other legal maneuvers to keep Trump from winning a second term. “Supreme Court ruling darkens critics’ hopes for a judicial curb on Trump,” read one headline in the Washington Post.

You might find it outrageous that people in positions of great power and responsibility, in the midst of a campaign, would use the justice system to “curb” one of the two major presidential candidates. You might find it outrageous that those people, a coalition of elected Democrats, Biden administration appointees, Democratic Party activists, and career lawfare specialists, are in fact desperately pushing the system to work faster to win verdicts by Election Day. But there it is.
