“In 1940, Royal Air Force Air Marshall Arthur ‘Bomber’ Harris gave a memorable speech announcing the beginning of a bombing campaign over Germany. ‘The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put that rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind and now they are going to reap the whirlwind.’ The same can be said for using the justice system to go after your political enemies when you are in power. Some day, like this week, your enemies will be in power and do unto you as you did to them. In 2022, New York Attorney General Letitia James brought a civil case against then-former President Trump, after she made going after him the central issue in her 2018 campaign.” (08/25/25)
