“Color Revolution” is a term that has been around for a while and doesn’t have a single clear definition. But the term most famously was used as to the “Orange” Ukraine 2004 civil unrest that allegedly was manipulated by western intelligence agencies to topple a pro-Russia regime. A color revolution then, is a form of manipulated mass civil disobediance meant to accomplish regime change.
We saw it used against Trump after the 2016 election, where manipulated and hysterical claims of Russia collusion were used to attempt to paralyze the Trump administration under the umbrella of “The Resistance” – and it worked well in stymying many of Trump’s planned initiatives. It all was highly organized and manipulated. What has been happening in Israel regarding judicial reform also is a form of color revolution, where organized mass protests against the recently-elected right wing coalition led by Benjamin Netanyahu paralyzed the country, and even the military, all with the purpose of overthrowing the democratically elected goverment.
There also is a type of color revolution being waged against the Supreme Court now that it has a conservative majority. Michael Waller tweeted:
“A full-blown Color Revolution-style attack on the US Supreme Court as an institution is now in its early stages.”
I agree that Color Revolution probably is an appropriate term for the years-long and accelerating attempt by Democrats to delegitimize the Supreme Court. You could trace the history back to the “Borking” of Reagan nominee Robert Bork, but certainly to the savaging of Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings.
Democrats are launching a campaign to reopen and revisit the Kavanaugh confirmation. They can’t do that legally, but they want to further increase the pressure on Kavanaugh — the person who was almost assassinated due to Democrat and media incitement.
It’s part of a broad activist and Democrat campaign against all the conservative Justices, including Justice Thomas and his wife, Chief Justice Roberts and his wife, and Justices Alito, Kavanaugh, and Barrett (to a lesser degree).
Among the SCOTUS-related stories that major outlets have broken in the last few weeks:- Washington Post discovered that Clarence Thomas has been declaring income from “Ginger Holdings LLC” instead of “Ginger Limited Partnership” since 2006.- CNN discovered that a company Harlan Crow’s family had a minority interest in was involved in a case that SCOTUS declined to consider. Crow & his company had no involvement in the case.- Politico discovered that Justice Gorsuch correctly declared the sale of his portion of an LLC that sold property to a partner at a law firm. That partner never met Gorsuch and is a big Dem donor.- Business Insider discovered that Justice Roberts’ wife is a successful recruiter for major law firms. None of her recruits have ever argued before SCOTUS.If you don’t realize this is an intentional and coordinated campaign aimed directly at delegitimizing the SCOTUS majority, I don’t know what to tell you.
Chuck Schumer has openly incited violence:
The threats against conservative Justices contininue such that Justice Alito was unable to attend a lecture at Scalia Law School because of security concerns, as he told The Wall Street Journal:
Justice Samuel Alito was supposed to speak to law students at George Mason University in Arlington, Va., but when they showed up, he wasn’t there. “That Alito was speaking via closed circuit from a room at the Supreme Court seven miles away, rather than in person, was a sign these are not normal times,” the Washington Post reported. The Post didn’t explain what made the “times” abnormal.It wasn’t a lingering fear of Covid-19. In a mid-April interview in his chambers, Justice Alito fills us in on the May 12, 2022, event: “Our police conferred with the George Mason Police and the Arlington Police and they said, ‘It’s not a good idea. He shouldn’t come here. . . . The security problems will be severe.’ So I ended up giving the speech by Zoom,” he says. “Still, there were so many protesters and they were so loud that you could hear them.” ….That campaign [against the conservative Justices] included unlawful assemblies outside justices’ homes, and that wasn’t the worst of it. “Those of us who were thought to be in the majority, thought to have approved my draft opinion, were really targets of assassination,” Justice Alito says. “It was rational for people to believe that they might be able to stop the decision in Dobbs by killing one of us.” On June 8, an armed man was arrested outside the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh; the suspect was later charged with attempted assassination and has pleaded not guilty.
Make no mistake about it, this is a deliberate campaign to stoke violent attacks on the conservative Justices at a minimum to intimidate them. No wonder the media memory-holed the attempted assassination of Justice Kavanaugh.
So maybe what we are witnessing is more than a color revolution against the Supreme Court. We’re witnessing a color revolution on the edge of a hot war on the conservative Justices.
