He has <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65993\" target=\"_blank\">deported legal residents to a gulag in El Salvador<\/a><\/strong>. He has <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66004\" target=\"_blank\">threatened the academic freedom of universities<\/a><\/strong>. He has <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66107\" target=\"_blank\">gone after the fundraising arms of his political foes<\/a><\/strong>. And he is even threatening journalists who dare to tell the truth about him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66101\" target=\"_blank\">Trump\u2019s Justice Dept Threatens Journalists as \u2018Treasonous\u2019 for Not Disclosing Sources of Leaks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now, on the heels of his <em>&#8220;Justice&#8221;<\/em> Department <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66094\" target=\"_blank\">arresting a Wisconsin judge on phony charges<\/a><\/strong> that she helped a migrant to evade Trump&#8217;s ICE goons, his press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has upped the ante in his fight against law and order. During a morning press briefing at the White House, Leavitt was asked a surprisingly coherent question by Peter Doocy of Fox News&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Doocy:<\/strong> As you guys look at other judges, would you ever arrest somebody higher up on the judicial food chain, like a federal judge or even a Supreme Court Justice?<br \/>\n<strong>Leavitt:<\/strong> That&#8217;s a hypothetical question&#8230;Anyone who is breaking the law or obstructing federal law enforcement officials from doing their job is putting yourself at risk for being prosecuted. Absolutely!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3lnuu6gfqqq2n\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreibfnyvsxysmxtrytst5rdlwxsjfhywa3mn6cgfwmfcfdek7y4eb6a\">\n<p lang=\"en\">DOOCY: Would you ever arrest a federal judge or even a Supreme Court justice?LEAVITT: I&#39;d refer you to the DOJ for individuals they are looking at &#8230; anyone who is breaking the law or obstructing federal law enforcement officials is putting themselves at risk of being prosecuted, absolutely<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc?ref_src=embed\">Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc\/post\/3lnuu6gfqqq2n?ref_src=embed\">2025-04-28T13:19:30.921Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So Leavitt is explicitly declaring that the Trump regime would arrest a Supreme Court Justice if they determined that he or she was breaking a law. And we know from experience that, in Trump&#8217;s view, anything that is contrary to his personal interests he considers to be unlawful. This weekend he raged that President Biden and the members of the House Committee to Investigate the January 6th Insurrection <em>&#8220;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66107\" target=\"_blank\">should all be in jail!<\/a><\/strong>&#8220;<\/em> So what&#8217;s to stop him from ordering the arrest of Justice Sonia Sotomayor because he doesn&#8217;t like how she rules on cases about him?<\/p>\n<p>By the logic that Leavitt is employing, a Democratic Justice Department could arrest Clarence Thomas for taking millions of dollars in gifts (bribes?) from wealthy defendants who have cases before the Court. They could arrest Samuel Alito for ruling that Trump has <em>&#8220;immunity&#8221;<\/em> from the crimes he commits, because that ruling would facilitate obstruction of justice. In both of those examples there is far more justification for taking legal action against the Justices than anything that Trump or Leavitt have alleged.<\/p>\n<p>These remarks by Leavitt are among the steps being taken by the Trump regime to turn America into a full fledged dictatorship. They would control the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. With the stranglehold they seek to exert over academia, lawfare, and the media, they would rival totalitarian regimes like Russia and North Korea. And while it may seem far-fetched, it is closer to reality today than it has ever been in the United States. Consequently, the vigilance and resistance of the people is needed now more than ever as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=66094\" target=\"_blank\">Is This a Joke?
