I don’t think people understand the degree to which the legal profession and (by extent) the judiciary were targeted by leftists. There is an army of leftist activist lawyers and judges all looking for “creative” ways to maximally reinterpret and apply our countless laws to political and cultural enemies. Traditionally, legal battles were triggered by actual harm. But leftists view themselves and their protected pets as oppressed, so there is literally always justification for lawfare.

The unfortunate truth is that our legal and criminal justice systems operate on not a small number of (essentially) honor systems. If you have bad faith citizens operating along purely sectarian and/or political lines, there’s no end to the damage they can do. And when the number of such people reach a critical mass, there is great potential for sudden collapse.
