Lawfare Review

America First goes after lawfare:

The lawsuit stems from a Freedom of Information (FOIA) request the AFLF made regarding communications between the far-left lawmakers Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. Hank Johnson and the Judicial Conference and the Administrative Office. However, the policymaking bodies outrightly rejected the requests by claiming they were exempt from such FOIA demands. Ironically, the Judicial Conference and the Administrative Office have honored several “congressional oversight requests” by the far-Left lawmakers to aid them in going after Justices Thomas and Alito. “When it comes to government transparency, you can’t have your cake and eat it too,” remarked Dan Epstein, America First Legal Vice President. According to the lawsuit, Sen. Whitehouse and Rep. Johnson have for several years waged lawfare against Supreme Court Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh, and in the process, enjoyed favorable legacy media coverage. Similarly, the Judicial Conference and the Administrative Office have acted as the “central levers” for the lawmakers’ persistent lawfare campaign. “This lawfare has been led by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Representative Hank Johnson, relying upon an ideologically favorable legacy media to falsely accuse Justices Thomas and Alito of ethical improprieties. Their aim was simple: to chill the judicial independence of these Supreme Court Justices.”
