Opinion | Liberals Bet They Could Beat Trump With the Law. They Lost.
A few victories made it easy for Democrats to forget that the law is just another domain of politics where their enemies enjoy power too.
The yearslong effort to vanquish Donald Trump in court was a dismal failure.
For liberals like me, it may be tempting to attribute the collapse of the various cases against him to convenient explanations of process or personnel. The more uncomfortable truth is that our search for political salvation primarily through the law has backfired. To oppose Mr. Trump in his second term, liberals must learn the lesson of this defeat, which is that there is no alternative to persuading our fellow citizens of our beliefs.
