Left-Wing American
‘Constitution’ Society Urges Deep State to Undermine Trump
by Joel B. Pollak 11 Jun 2017
The Washington
Examiner has published an account of a meeting of the American Constitution Society — the left’s
version of the conservative Federalist Society of lawyers — at which
participants discussed how to encourage the “deep state” to undermine President
Donald Trump.
Ryan Lovelace of the Examiner reported
Saturday:
Forlorn liberals took refuge at the American Constitution
Society’s national convention in Washington this week, discussing whether to
encourage the growth of the “deep state” resistance inside the government or
fight President Trump from outside.
UCLA law professor Jon Michaels said he favors
filling the Trump administration with liberals opposed to Trump’s agenda.
“We hear a lot of language about draining the swamp and
this idea about a deep state that somehow was going to thwart the intentions or
the political mandate of the president,” Michaels said. “I kind of embrace this
notion of the ‘deep state.'”
Michaels listed his ideas for how to ensure the success
of the “deep state.” Act as a group — a department, across agency lines, as a
community — rather than as an individual when pushing back against Trump from
the inside, he said. Once such a coalition is formed, he suggested “rogue
tweeting” or “leaking to the media” as options for fighting the president.
Some present also discussed the possibility of using
federalism to oppose Trump. For more than a century, liberals have opposed
federalism, preferring rule by the federal government over allowing states to
govern their own affairs. However, liberal-dominated states like California
have newfound enthusiasm for federalism — although their version has more to do
with ignoring federal law altogether, rather than exercising state powers and
prerogatives.
