When Turnabout is Fair Play And Other Happy Tales

Remember last August, when New York Attorney General Letitia James sued the National Rifle Association and called for the organization to be dissolved and the removal of Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre? The NRA counter-sued, so this is now a bare-knuckles street brawl in which social distancing may not prevent someone’s political jaw from getting bruised.

Two days before Christmas, 16 Republican state attorneys general put a lump of coal in her sock by filing a 17-page amicus brief in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York in support of the 139-year-old civil rights organization — and they say some unpleasant things about their Democrat colleague.

The attorneys general call James’ lawsuit “a politically motivated assault on free speech and an effort to destroy both a fundamental constitutional right and a political opponent dedicated to defending that right.”

A couple of paragraphs later, their brief adds: “When government officials, like the New York AG in this case, target organizations for their members’ political viewpoints, they subvert the very freedoms they are sworn to protect.”
