CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin has never been one to show good judgement. When he’s not getting caught conducting “personal business” on a staff Zoom call, he’s accidentally admitting that there’s an ongoing leftist-led judicial coup designed to stymie President Trump’s agenda.
The serial self-pleasurer let the proverbial cat out of the bag in his Monday opinion column for The New York Times. Titled, “The Plan for a Radically Different Supreme Court Is Here,” the article purports to roll out a blueprint for countering conservative appointments of originalist judges to the bench but inadvertently discloses the existence of leftists’ efforts to weaponize the judicial system against Trump.
The admission comes in the piece’s opening paragraphs, in which Toobin discusses the American Constitution Society and its new president, Phil Brest. The ACS has often been described as the less successful and left-wing alternative to the conservative Federalist Society, which has become an influential force in getting originalists appointed to the Supreme Court and other federal judgeships.
legislative and executive branches under Republican control, leftists have turned to their last available option: the lower courts.
As admitted by Toobin, Democrat-appointed district judges have become a critical feature of the left’s evolving lawfare against Trump and those who support him. In response to leftist-backed lawsuits, these judges have spent the past year issuing overreaching injunctions and temporary restraining orders blocking every aspect of the president’s agenda — with some even going as far as attempting to unilaterally halt enactment of policies passed by Congress.
While the Supreme Court has limited some of these actions, loopholes in the high court’s 2025 ruling on lower courts’ abuse of nationwide injunctions have continued to be exploited by rogue judges. The GOP Congress and Trump have also declined to take necessary action to stop this weaponization of the judicial system.
The Times and Toobin may think the latter’s article is shining a light on a new and exciting counter to the successful originalist movement. In reality, it’s just further affirmation of the left’s willingness to wreck America’s constitutional system in their quest for unfettered power.
