Remember that Critical Theory emerged from lawschools. Most of the politicians in DC are lawyers. Every state bar association is desperate to disbar right-wing attorneys and representation. Judges are currently indicting attorneys for legally representing Trump.
I hate to say it, but Robert Barnes is right about bar associations and licensure for attorneys. But if he's right, then he's not going far enough. Bulldoze the lawschools (deny them all government funding including student loans), Bulldoze the bar associations (ban all credential requirements for attorneys), start passing and enforcing laws that execute prosecutors and judges for misconduct. And not the ones with a history of misconduct, capital punishment needs to be the result of the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd offense. Being a prosecutor or judge should be an aggravating factor.
Only then will you have a right-wing legal blowback. The profession is being purged of dissident voices in a very literal term, and it's currently occupied by corporatists who support the purge. The next wave of "legal scholars" are already steeped in Leftist Lawfare and Critical Theory, so those are the ones you are going to have to imprison.
If you want to fix the legal system, you've got decades before you can return it to normal.
I can't imagine the RW lawfare once that pendulum swings back, will be an interesting time.
That's going to take nearly 20 years, at soonest.

The pendulum is a myth. It is a ratchet.
