she said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;That is an egregious abuse of the bench. This judge does not have that authority, it is the opinion of this White House and of this administration &mdash; that&rsquo;s why we&rsquo;re fighting this in court.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And it&rsquo;s very, very clear that this is an activist judge who is trying to usurp the president&rsquo;s authority &hellip;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;This judge, Judge Boasberg, is a Democrat activist. He was appointed by Barack Obama. His wife has donated more than $10,000 to Democrats, and he has consistently shown his disdain for this president and his policies, and it&rsquo;s unacceptable.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>At that point, Haake snidely pointed out that Boasberg was actually appointed a judge by President George W. Bush, not Obama. That delighted lefties, like the libs at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rawstory.com\/gaslight-karoline-leavitt-schooled\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raw Story<\/a>, but it missed the point completely. It&rsquo;s also misleading.<\/p>\n<p>Boasberg, according to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dcd.uscourts.gov\/content\/chief-judge-james-e-boasberg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federal court biography<\/a>, was appointed by Bush to the <em>District of Columbia Superior Court<\/em> in 2002.<\/p>\n<p>It was, in fact, then-President Barack Obama who put Boasberg on the federal bench in 2011. Suffice it to say, if Boasberg were still hearing domestic violence cases in D.C., Americans outside the Beltway wouldn&rsquo;t know or care.<\/p>\n<p>In short, he&rsquo;s an Obama federal judge. The fact that liberals feel the need to obfuscate on that pretty much makes the truth plain.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of Leavitt&rsquo;s line of attack was even more on point.<\/p>\n<p>Going after the spouse of a federal judge is almost always a tactic of the political left &mdash; just look at how the wives of Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have been treated.<\/p>\n<p>But Leavitt went there &mdash; and could have gone a good deal further.<\/p>\n<p>Boasberg&rsquo;s wife, Liddy Manson, is not only a Democratic donor, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fec.gov\/data\/receipts\/individual-contributions\/?contributor_name=Elizabeth+Manson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Federal Election Commission records<\/a> confirm, she&rsquo;s a woman so committed to the Democratic Holy Grail of abortion that she <em>founded an abortion clinic<\/em> &mdash; the Meadow Reproductive Health and Wellness in Tysons Corner, Virginia, after the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-roe-v-wade-overturned-trump-nominated-justices-help-deliver-biggest-pro-life-win-american-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Supreme Court&rsquo;s Dobbs decision<\/a>. (Her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/liddy-manson-5ba20\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LinkedIn page<\/a> describes her as the clinic&rsquo;s &ldquo;founder and board chair.&rdquo;)<\/p>\n<p>And as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/law-and-order\/2025\/03\/18\/alex-marlow-exposes-anti-trump-leftist-activist-judge-who-blocked-gang-member-deportations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Breitbart<\/a> reported Tuesday, she has a history of specifically anti-Trump social media activity.<\/p>\n<p>All of that is a far cry from even Ginny Thomas&rsquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/parker-liberals-just-found-justice-thomas-wife-furious\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">decades of activism<\/a> in conservative causes (including the still-controversial <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/clarence-thomas-wife-ginni-speaks-sets-record-straight-jan-6-good\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2020 election<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>And it makes Martha-Ann Alito&rsquo;s penchant for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/scotus-justice-samuel-alito-fires-back-dems-refuses-step-aside-trump-jan-6-cases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flying symbolic flags<\/a> seem downright quaint.<\/p>\n<p>Leavitt is almost certain to draw fire for bringing Manson into the story, but there&rsquo;s a difference between pointing out the potential influences on a judge who&rsquo;s issuing unprecedented rulings against the administration on his own authority and blindly attacking Supreme Court justices on any front that seems convenient.<\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s also a difference between criticizing the spouse of a judge in a White House news briefing and encouraging screaming street demonstrations outside the justices&rsquo; private homes, as Biden press secretary Jen Psaki <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-psaki-gives-green-light-protesters-break-federal-law-outside-scotus-justices-homes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">did in May 2022<\/a>.
