There has never been an American president who is so averse to the principles and values of the United States and its Constitution than the current occupier of the White House, Donald Trump. He is almost always embroiled in some sort of legal warfare with government agencies, civil liberties advocates, the free press, or other institutions that protect the rights of the American people.

In the first six months of Trump's second term he has bullied law firms into paying millions to avoid the retribution of his government thuggery; he has pushed legislation to defund public service organizations such as Planned Parenthood, USAID, and PBS/NPR; and he has threatened media enterprises into submission in order to advance their corporate ambitions.

Also on Trump's radar has been the American judiciary. He has actually gone to the extremes of having judges that he disapproves of arrested. And now he has directed his Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, to go after a federal judge because he has not bent to the will of Dear Leader or ruled blindly and obediently in his favor. As reported by Democracy Docket...

"Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a misconduct complaint against a federal judge overseeing high-profile lawsuits against the Trump administration, escalating President Donald Trump’s ongoing assault on the judiciary.



"The DOJ issued the complaint over comments that James Boasberg, the chief district judge in Washington, D.C., made during a judicial conference with Chief Justice John Roberts and other federal judges earlier this year."

The alleged misconduct in the filing asserted that Boasberg improperly tried to influence Roberts. However, the conversations they had were entirely appropriate and in the furtherance of justice. But none of that matters to Bondi or Trump. The only thing that they are interested in is punishing those who fail to kiss Trump's - let's say ring - and submit to his authority. And also to get honest, independent judges removed from any of Trump cases, and even potentially impeached.

This action against Judge Boasberg is not meant only to punish him, but also to warn any other judges, who might be considering being impartial and law-abiding, that doing so will put them at risk as well. Although that would keep the Trump regime awfully busy. Trump's disregard for the law has already resulted in an unprecedented statistic for a presidential litigant...

"The Trump administration has lost a shocking 96% of rulings in federal district courts so far this month, according to a recent analysis by Adam Bonica, a professor of political science at Stanford.



"Bonica’s data indicates that judges across the ideological spectrum are ruling against Trump at similar rates. He’s lost in 72% of rulings issued by Republican-appointed judges and 80% of rulings by Democratic-appointed judges."

It is also notable that the outrage of Trump and Bondi against the judiciary is distinctly partisan. They couldn't care less about the prejudices of judges who are loyal to Dear Leader, including those on the Supreme Court. As observed in a detailed editorial in The Bulwark by Philip Lacovara (former deputy solicitor general of the United States, counsel to the Watergate special prosecutor, and president of the D.C. Bar)...

"In regularly voting in favor of President Trump—often in extraordinary interventions that short-circuit traditional judicial processes—those six [Supreme Court] justices are racking up a rap sheet of constitutional abuses of staggering import."



[And that] "Donald Trump and his administration will have to face the verdict of history. And so will his six enablers on the Supreme Court who have been complicit in eroding the constitutional ideal of constrained executive power and creating a virtually omnipotent presidency."

Hopefully Bondi's misconduct charges against Judge Boasberg will fall into the dustbin of history where they belong. But the efforts of Trump and his comrades must be struck down today and remembered forever as assaults on democracy and freedom. America cannot be allowed to devolve into the totalitarian dictatorship to which Trump aspires.
