As a politician it is really hard to raise money. You need a hook. Progressive Democrat Catherine Blakespear has found a way. You create an issue and then claim the world will collapse if you do not sue—or fight lawsuits.
“You see, last year, Blakespear faced accusations of censoring Facebook users who dared to criticize her on her official campaign page. The nerve of those citizens, expecting their voices to be heard and their opinions respected. But fear not, for justice prevailed, and a settlement was reached. Blakespear was required to pay the group $5,000 in attorney fees, unblock all users, and issue a public apology. A victory for free speech, or so we thought.
Unfortunately, it appears that compliance with settlement terms is not high on Blakespear’s list of priorities. Those pesky residents have dared to claim that she didn’t fulfill her obligations. And what’s her response? Instead of admitting any wrongdoing or trying to find common ground, she has chosen to face them in court, once again. Because why settle for one lawsuit when you can have two?
But wait, it gets even better. Not only is Blakespear raising funds from interest groups to fuel her legal battles, but she is also receiving legal assistance from none other than the California Democratic Party.”
You read that right—she hates free speech and she refuses to abide by a courts decision. Yup, she is a true Democrats, she believes laws are not meant for her.

I mean, isn’t that just what we need? Donors eagerly lining up to pay for a politician’s lawsuits. It’s truly a remarkable innovation in the world of politics.
