Weeping and gnashing of teeth over the monumental rulings by the SCOTUS that included the overturn of Roe v. Wade has led to a growing progressive effort to delegitimize the nation’s highest court as leftists escalate their war against the one remaining American institution that they haven’t corrupted.
One who is busy at work undermining the Supreme Court is Georgetown University Law Center Heidi Li Feldman who poured out her dismay that conservative justices were able to inflict such a severe blow on the left’s cultural engineering project into a massive, 15-tweet rant about what she calls an “actively rogue” SCOTUS in which she also drags in former President Donald J. Trump and the entire Republican party.
“With an actively rogue Supreme Court, U.S. lawyers, legal scholars, and law schools have to reckon with how to practice, teach, and understand law without falling into complicity with lawlessness,” professor Feldman kicked off her diatribe.

But in more ordinary times, ordinary legal practice and legal education can grapple with these issues. When one branch of the federal legal system goes lawless, the problem is of a different order. 3/

Muh, Trump…
With the rise of the Trump-Republican Party, this traction – the ability to argue within a shared expectation of commitment to rule of law and justice – has completely evaporated. Last term’s Supreme Court decisions are just the most recent high-profile evidence for this. 6/

During and since Trump’s time in office we saw how, time and again, he and members of his administration completely disregarded basic tenets of rule of law, eg basic due process. We saw his judicial nominees lie under oath in Congressional hearings. 7/

Throughout the country we have seen Republican legislators, officials, and judges gut the basic levers of pluralistic democracy by trimming both rights and opportunities to vote and vote meaningfully. 8/

Feldman wrapped up her 15-tweet upchucking of her own personal grievances wrapped in lofty language by calling for a legal counter for what she calls “pseudo-law” while providing no details of what the term means.
In short, in the U.S. today practicing, studying, teaching law with integrity requires creativity, courage, and honesty. We must teach critique and protest of law that only pretends to justice, fairness, and the public welfare. 15/15

Twitter users reacted strongly to Feldman’s condemnation of the current court’s disagreement with her warped leftist worldview.
If you’re a student at Georgetown Law, I strongly recommend you not listen to this person on this particular point.
When a court rules a way you disagree with it’s not lawless, it’s life. https://t.co/cQ15DIc2OJ

Look y’all – SCOTUS following 2A, overturning Roe which even left wing legal scholars said was not properly reasoned & telling the EPA it cannot exceed its Congressional mandate & upend an entire economic sector is LAWLESS according to this lawyerly lawyer 🙄 https://t.co/WvfneYnk8J

Shorter version: my ideology no longer dominates the Supreme Court for the first time in 50 years so we’re going to throw out legal norms and do what I want to do from now on. It won’t end well.

Quite a word salad there. Is she defining lawlessness as a state in which opinions with which she disagrees at times prevail?

Congrats
You put together 2 thousand words without a grain of truth in anything.
But you feel good about yourself.

Remember when what I’m sure many labeled a “rogue” court overturned Plessy v Ferguson?
“Rogue” apparently means decisions that Heidi disagrees with. I love how a law prof describes the law as having “sides.” That seems odd.— Dave (@DaveTV2112) July 11, 2022
This is a lot of words just to complain about being outvoted. Campaign in Wisconsin next time!

Throwing a tantrum and saying “burn it all down” is a great way to generate engagement on Twitter but it’s a terrible way to think about legal problems. You’re smarter and more creative than that, and your teachers should be helping you unlock that creativity.

One of the Georgetown Law leftists who wear their extremism on their sleeves, Feldman called for law firms to refuse to hire lawyers who have worked for judges nominated by Trump.
Leftist ideologues will continue to refuse to accept the legitimacy of the Supreme Court’s rulings, from the White House down to the lowliest Twitter troll, they just want to burn it down.
