The American Stasi is not giving up. They are now trying to topple the Supreme Court.

The last few weeks have seen an eruption of stories about the court, all of them focused on its conservative members. Justice Clarence Thomas has a rich friend who lets him ride on a private jet. Justice Neil Gorsuch sold a house. Liberals claimed that Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s background check wasn’t complete. And so on.

This is an organized attack.

The Left, frustrated that the bench is no longer advancing its policy priorities via judicial fiat, is trying to either expand the court or set up its own system of justice that trumps the Supreme Court. It’s similar to what the communist government of East Germany attempted during the Cold War.
