Deep dives

The Left's Targeting of Conservative Justices

Progressive activists have been focusing their efforts on undermining conservative justices on the Supreme Court, specifically targeting figures like Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. The attacks are driven by a desire to challenge the conservative majority and reshape the court's decisions towards a more left-wing agenda. Justice Thomas, in particular, has been a central figure in these attacks due to his originalist approach and independence, which goes against the narrative pushed by the left. Efforts to discredit Justice Thomas and other conservative justices are seen as a means to eventually pack the court and alter its current composition.
