AG Barr Declares WAR On Democrats Image Credit : The Daily Wire

Democrats are running scared. According to The Daily Wire, Attorney General William Barr went off on the so called "resistance" during a speech at the Federalist Society's 2019 National Lawyers Convention in Washington, D.C., warning that the political Left is "engaged in a war" to "cripple" and "sabotage" the Trump administration. Barr stated, "Immediately after President Trump won election, opponents inaugurated what they called 'The Resistance,' and they rallied around an explicit strategy of using every tool and maneuver available to sabotage the functioning of his Administration. Now, 'resistance' is the language used to describe insurgency against rule imposed by an occupying military power," Barr said. "It obviously connotes that the government is not legitimate. This is a very dangerous – indeed incendiary – notion to import into the politics of a democratic republic. What it means is that, instead of viewing themselves as the 'loyal opposition,' as opposing parties have done in the past, they essentially see themselves as engaged in a war to cripple, by any means necessary, a duly elected government." Later in his speech, Barr again took aim the political Left, highlighting that they, not Trump, are the ones guilty of shredding constitutional norms and waging a war on the rule of law. "One of the ironies of today is that those who oppose this President constantly accuse this Administration of 'shredding' constitutional norms and waging a war on the rule of law. When I ask my friends on the other side, what exactly are you referring to? I get vacuous stares, followed by sputtering about the Travel Ban or some such thing," Barr said. "While the President has certainly thrown out the traditional Beltway playbook, he was upfront about that beforehand, and the people voted for him. What I am talking about today are fundamental constitutional precepts. The fact is that this administration's policy initiatives and proposed rules, including the Travel Ban, have transgressed neither constitutional, nor traditional, norms, and have been amply supported by the law and patiently litigated through the court system to vindication."
