Surging crime. And students locked out of the classroom. Unable to sell their socialist agenda to voters, Democrats cling to power the only way they can. They run to the courthouse, yanking control out of the hands of elected legislators and handing over the redistricting process to their friends on the courts.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>NARRATOR:&nbsp;It\u2019s simple, if they don\u2019t like a map, they sue until it\u2019s blue.<br \/>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>NARRATOR:&nbsp;For years Democrats have spent millions installing liberal, activist judges on the court who will take their side on redistricting. Judges are meant to be umpires, calling balls and strikes, following the law. Not the last line of defense for socialism. That\u2019s why the RSLC\u2019s Judicial Fairness Initiative is fighting back. The only national effort focused on protecting our courts. Electing judges who defend the constitution, not political agendas. And this year, we\u2019re investing more in the program than ever before. Because there\u2019s more at stake than ever before. To elect conservative judges. To roll back the liberal takeover of our courts.&nbsp; To defend our democracy and the rule of law. We must stop their Sue to Blue. JFI is up for the fight.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Before this initiative, the most money the RSLC spent on&nbsp;state Supreme Court races during a single year was in 2018, when&nbsp;JFI spent just over&nbsp;$4.3 million.<\/p>\n<p><i>Jacob Bliss is a reporter for Breitbart News.
