The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board claimed President Trump is attacking his own and hitting the Federalist Society with friendly fire. The people President Trump is harshly criticizing are the leadership of The Federalist Society whom he trusted to recommend judges and justices.
Specifically, President Trump is very concerned about the Supreme Court, which is not a conservative or Originalist court.
He is also frustrated by the lawsuits that the Leonard Leo and Koch brothers organization are backing. They are going after tariffs and won two cases in the district court of international trade.
Leo is the co-chair of the board of The Federalist Society. While it is true that he helped Trump win, he also gave him judges who are liberal. They are not Originalists, they’re Libertarians. We were not looking for Conservatives or Libertarians. We were looking for Originalists who adhere to the Constitution.
The tariff lawsuits are very damaging to President Trump’s foreign policy. More to the point, the Federalists gave us very different recommendations from those they gave us in the past.
This Federalist Society gave us Amy Coney Barrett, and Brett Kavanaugh. None of them are at the caliber of Clarence Thomas or Samuel Alito, which is what we desperately needed. They can’t be trusted to follow the Constitution. Neil Gorsuch isn’t always what we hoped for either.
Naturally, the Wall Street Journal editorial board—the string orchestra on the Titanic—gets it wrong again.
I don’t “want judges who will issue reliably partisan rulings.”

Sorry…but the ‘judiciary’ appears to have forgotten what ‘impartiality’ and the rule of law is really about…as they lean increasingly ‘left’…
Go back and investigate the constitution, what it really is, who the founders really were, how it was ratified at gunpoint in the middle of an epic fraud, and how it was created as a tool enslavement the fruits of which have been paying dividends to the “founders” posterity for well over 200 years now. There is not a single… Read more »

The WSJ went bad long ago, or was never good. The Federalist knew about the judges it recommended. That is a main area of their expertise. I have not heard them explain what happened. A problem with the WSJ and Federalist is that, although they have some conservative ideas, they are core elitist globalist controlled.
Gorsch, Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett are RINO imposters. Realizing that Republicans will no longer vote for RINO politicians, Koch and Leo have used their influence within the US Senate, especially with ‘leaders’ such as Chuckie Schumer and Mitch McConnell, to push Democrat SCOTUS justices onto President Trump and the American people, subsequently using those justices to circumvent the authority of the… Read more »
