For years, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has been one of the left’s most devastating weapons, chiefly because of the cynicism and deceit at the heart of its operations.
Most Americans think of it as a neutral watchdog organization, valiantly fighting against a still deeply entrenched racism. Far fewer are aware of how the SPLC has taken the good will it built up fighting against the Ku Klux Klan and used it to give a patina of objectivity and fairness to its efforts to defame and destroy patriotic organizations that dissent from the left’s agenda. And now, oddly enough, a Trump-appointed district court judge has handed this unsavory and mendacious group a massive victory in court.
There is more. Read the rest here.

I did not read the full article, but did note on a news outlet about an hour ago that the SPLC has stated they’re under DOJ investigation for various activities.
The guest on that program did address that organization’s work in bankrupting the KKK, and that it had later become engaged in hateful witchhunts/labeling of conservative ‘hate groups’.
JW being one of those groups, of course.

The SPLC is finally going to be jerked up by the short hairs.

A few things to keep in mind while watching this develop. The 1872 US Supreme Court case Taylor v Taintor contains the statement that the first court to take jurisdiction of a matter takes complete jurisdiction over all matters until the conclusion of its proceeding. That means for the time being other courts and the state bar ought to wait to initiate any proceedings of their own.
But under the rule of dual sovereignty, the state court applying state law and following federal law as required by Article 6 Clause 2 is free to take its own action once the federal court, the first to take jurisdiction, has concluded. This is a really good time for people who have an interest in this case to talk with their lawyers.
