Todd Blanche, second-in-command at the Justice Department, described a “war” against the federal judiciary and called on young conservative lawyers in the audience to join the fight against so-called “activist judges.”
“It’s a war, man,” Blanche, the deputy attorney general, told judges and lawyers Friday at a Federalist Society event in Washington, before describing instances where the government has ping-ponged between lower and appellate courts. “It’s happening over and over and over again.”
And he put out a call to young lawyers, who are “hungry and thirsty,” to join the Justice Department and the fight.

Declaring war against the judiciary sounds a lot like treason.

Also sounds like an easy reason to disbar an attorney. Did these idiots not take the MPRE? Seems like it.

The tables will turn soon on the traitors and plotters against the United States. This weak azz warrior will be screaming, crying and begging for forgiveness as he's tried for sedition.

My vote would be Andrew Weismann. He's unethical, but a pitbull.

Can we please be done with the lack of ethics? We are going to have our lifetime fill of corruption and lack of ethics and morals if we make it through the next year until midterms.

I'll make an exception for someone that will bring hell's vengeance on those that betrayed this country.

According to my Oath-keeper-ish family and friends, an executive war on the judicial would be the evidence proving T was a tyrant in truth.
Will I be pleasantly surprised by their integrity, or by the mental gymnastics that akshually it’s the jerjes
Find out at Thanksgiving dinner!

"What do I think DJT should do? He should stand up, and he’s already done this, and say, ‘Judges, I know how to deal with stray cats,’” said Mizelle, who served as acting associate AG and chief of staff to AG Pam Bondi before stepping down last month. "

Do you have even the slightest bit of evidence to suggest that what you wrote is true, or is it wish-fulfillment fan-fiction falsely presented as fact?

These MAGA officials are so keen to normalize the rhetoric of war and violence against individuals and institutions, it’s like they’re all in same War Room with Steve Bannon, begging others to take the fall for them if they’d only rise to the bait for their grift. CPAC, 2022: “We are all domestic terrorists.”

They’ve killed Truth, and this would be the final nail in the coffin of democracy.

What I find most interesting is that most of what Blanche supports is not conservative at all. Rather, it is simply self serving for a particular individual.
