Time For Right-Wing Lawfare
This retired Oregon attorney first learned of the concept of “lawfare” in 2014 when Oregon Democrats created a “crime” with which to remove an elected judge from the bench. Marion County Circuit Court Judge Vance D. Day was a Christian who lived his faith in the state’s capital, Salem. This drove the crazed Democrats to distraction. They demanded that he marry same-sex couples, even though no judge in Oregon is required to marry any couple. It is not part of their duties. Day had also been the chair of the Oregon Republican Party, 2005-2009. Details about this disgusting and successful lawfare plot can be found at the end of this article.^
FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE
Some would call this “turnabout is fair play.” I call it “using Democrats’ methods against them.” After all, Democrats created lawfare, they taught the rest of us how to use it and it is now available for Republicans to use against Democrats. It is long past time for Republican Attorneys General and Republican District Attorneys throughout the nation to put together lawfare task forces. These task forces should target high profile elected Democrat officials & bureaucrats, and investigate them. We already know that many, many elected officials, more Democrats than Republicans, have used their offices to benefit themselves at the expense of their constituents.
I believe that it will not even be necessary to twist statutes into pretzels, like Bragg did to persecute Trump, in order to indict Democrats. Many Blue state Democrats break the law in the open because they know they have cover. They know most Republicans have too much class to treat Democrats like they have treated them. Republicans have been holding their heads high while Democrats destroy America. THAT ATTITUDE MUST END!!!!
Off the top of my head, here are just a few examples of Democrats who can be prosecuted:
State Attorneys General can investigate and prosecute Anthony Fauci in every state where Americans died from Covid-19.
State Attorneys General can investigate and prosecute Alejandro Mayorkas and Joe Biden for aiding and abetting drug trafficking, human trafficking, and numerous other crimes. If nothing else, they are certainly guilty of financing this lawbreaking using our tax dollars. Both have also violated their oaths of office.
Florida’s Attorney General should indict Biden’s Special Prosecutor Jack Smith for manipulating, doctoring and hiding evidence in the “Trump documents” case. He should also be disbarred.
Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Benny Thompson and various others on the J6 Kangaroo Committee should be investigated and prosecuted for illegally destroying evidence and testimony.
Georgia’s Attorney General should investigate and prosecute Stacey Abrams for election denial, and Fulton County DA Fani Willis for numerous crimes, including perjury and colluding with Biden’s White House to prosecute Republicans.
Hunter Biden has admitted that he bought and/or used illegal drugs and/or drove while drugged/drunk and/or bought prostitutes and/or violated the Mann Act in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida and Washington DC. These known crimes total 172. Where are the Republican District Attorneys in the counties where he broke the law?
Trump’s Department of Justice should indict every one of the 51 “CIA & intel officials” who wrote a letter claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation.” They intentionally interfered with the 2020 presidential election and should be prosecuted. They should also lose their security clearances on January 20, 2025.
Trump’s Department of Justice should investigate and prosecute any & all, whether Democrat or Republican, whether elected lawmakers or bureaucrats, involved in creating and perpetuating the Russian Collusion Hoax, such as Adam Schiff, James Comey, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, to name just a few.
WHAT WILL TRUMP DO?
President Trump has not yet revealed if or when he will use lawfare against Democrats after he returns to the White House. Indeed, there are so many to target, he will need to set up a huge task force to study the illegalities of Democrat politicians.
Judge Merchan Lied To The Jury
Democrat Judge Juan Merchan, in giving the jury false instructions, is desperately trying to obtain a conviction of the leading presidential candidate. This political hack will be a hero on The Left if he can trick the jury into convicting President Trump. Nevermind that Merchan knows full well that any conviction will be reversed on appeal because he…
I respect the sentiment of this article here, but we must not let our emotions control our behavior. Pursuing lawfare against Democrats would be mostly an exhausting waste of our time and money, something that we absolutely cannot afford. Lawsuits are very expensive, they tend to require years to conduct, they often end in failure to convict, and even upon conviction they are frequently overturned on appeal. While all this is underway, Democrats remain in office. Even if we put them away, they are then replaced with other Democrats.
Revenge is really a bad strategy. For example in Minnesota we ran a revenge candidate for governor in 2022. On our side was Scott Jensen, a really competent doctor who was justifiably enraged at our Governor Walz, who had locked down Minnesota in the same manner as other Democrat tyrant governors. The race wasn't even close; Jensen lost approximately 52%-44%. Several other revenge candidates, fully justified in their sentiments, also lost lesser races here. Republicans must understand that the general public is not hip to our causes. Most people aren't very bright. You have to promise them something or they'll turn you off. They don't understand what Democrats did to them during COVID, they don't understand the forces that installed Joe Biden in 2020, and they certainly don't understand lawfare. I wish more Republicans would realize that most of the voting public is attending boxing matches and watching Jerry Springer reruns.
We should have ONLY ONE PURPOSE, which is to remove as many Democrats from office as possible. We should drop our delusions that we are going to win statewide offices in blue states. We should use the same bottom-up approach that Democrats use so successfully: determine which lower-level offices in swing districts are winnable, and win them. Build power from the ground up. Build the ecosystem that will support bigger candidates for bigger offices later. Appeal to the baser instincts of the not-so-bright voters. Do everything systematically and logically. Anything else, any other distraction, is a losing proposition. Remember: the REAL revenge is winning.
Lawfare has been substantial, nationwide, against attorneys who represent conservatives and conservative causes:

In some states, state bars can have some (frequently abused) power stripped away by the state legislature. The Texas GOP and Libertarians are increasingly getting behind such a reform movement, as these platform planks help shows:
http://www.TexasBarSunset.com/platforms
There is much to reform: http://www.TexasBarSunset.com/reforms
News of the ongoing lawfare has added fuel to the movement, fortunately. We are blessed to have activist journalists like Diane Gruber who help raise awareness.
Ongoing multistate litigation is underway, as well. Diane's been at the forefront of it, in fact: http://www.TexasBarSunset.com/Janus .
Some folks retire after they retire. Diane rebooted and reloaded. Hopefully she'll see fit to continue making a difference and helping folks learn more about what they can try to help improve in our states and countries. I say countries because Oregon (Greater Idaho), New Hampshire (Nhexit), Texas (Texit) and other U.S. states are becoming increasingly fed up with pouring their hard-earned tax dollars down a federal sinkhole: http://www.USDebtClock.org . Stay tuned, folks. The feds are increasingly financially bankrupt and they'll get more and more reckless as their financial desperation inevitably grows. Many federal retirees want to keep their lavi$h pensions, and they'll blackmail others in the federal gubmint if they don't keep feeding the elitist federal retirees what they demand. What could possibly go wrong for the feds especially as Donald Trump increasingly promises to reign in the administrative state? Plenty.
