It explains that VanDyke opens with a graphic description of male nudity to stress that the policy endangers women and girls, and that he defends such rhetoric as a direct critique of what he sees as an overreaching court and a harmful transgender-policy stance. The author notes that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dems-lost-all-credibility-on-social-distancing-after-biden-celebrations\/\" title=\"Dems Lost All Credibility On Social Distancing After Biden Celebrations\">corporate media<\/a> framed VanDyke\u2019s words as vulgar and distracting, while allegedly ignoring the broader issue of protecting women and minors in shared spaces.<\/p>\n<p>The article contends there is a double standard in how media and some judges respond to crude language from <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >conservative judges versus hostile rhetoric directed<\/a> at the right, and it criticizes what it calls the judiciary\u2019s long-standing power and legitimacy problems. It cites other instances where judges or media responses praised anti-Trump sentiments or attacked the governance, arguing these examples reveal a pattern of political bias undermining public trust in the courts.The author asserts that decades of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/legal-showdowns-against-trump-orders-are-speed-bumps-not-blockades-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Legal showdowns against Trump orders are speed bumps, not blockades - Washington Examiner\">perceived judicial overreach<\/a> have damaged the judiciary\u2019s legitimacy and aligns with political calls to restrain courts\u2019 power.<\/p>\n<p>The piece also references VanDyke\u2019s other controversial acts-a gun-case dissent video and a separate immigration dissent labeling the court as ignoring law and precedent-and notes his prior Trump-era nomination to the Ninth Circuit and an ABA rating described as not qualified. The essay is written by Joy Pullmann, executive editor of The Federalist, and includes her portrayal of VanDyke as a promising Supreme Court candidate who challenges established judicial norms.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><em>This article quotes crass language for male bodies.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Judge Lawrence VanDyke pre-emptively nuked corporate-media pearl-clutching in his recent dissent from a Ninth Circuit decision forcing a nude, female-only Korean spa frequented by minors to admit men in the name of &ldquo;trans rights.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Squirm as we might, I think it&rsquo;s only fair for our court to have a small taste of its own medicine,&rdquo; VanDyke wrote. &ldquo;Sometimes, &lsquo;dignified&rsquo; words are employed to mask a legal abomination.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<p>This was part of VanDyke&rsquo;s defense for opening his dissent with: &ldquo;This is a case about swinging dicks. The Christian owners of Olympus Spa &mdash; a traditional Korean, women-only, nude spa &mdash; understandably don&rsquo;t want them in their spa. Their female employees and female clients don&rsquo;t want them in their spa either. But Washington State insists on them. And now so does the Ninth Circuit.&rdquo; He continues:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>You may think that swinging dicks shouldn&rsquo;t appear in a judicial opinion. You&rsquo;re not wrong. But as much as you might understandably be shocked and displeased to merely encounter that phrase in this opinion, I hope we can all agree that it is far more jarring for the unsuspecting and exposed women at Olympus Spa &mdash; someo as young as thirteen &mdash; to be visually assaulted by the real thing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>After VanDyke&rsquo;s dissent was released on March 12, corporate media mimicked his Ninth Circuit colleagues&rsquo; fake horror at crude words used to describe abominable realities. <\/p>\n<p>Reuters went with: &ldquo;US judges condemn Trump appointee&rsquo;s &lsquo;vulgar barroom talk&rsquo; in their transgender bias case.&rdquo; The article notes that 27<em> <\/em>of VanDyke&rsquo;s child-hating colleagues on his circuit &ldquo;denounced VanDyke&rsquo;s comments as &lsquo;vulgar barroom talk&rsquo; that could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/american-medical-association-blasted-after-calling-for-removing-sex-from-birth-certificates\/\" title=\"American Medical Association Blasted After Calling For Removing Sex From Birth Certificates\">undermine public trust<\/a> in the &#8288;courts&rdquo; in a written response accompanying the opinions in the case.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>&ldquo;We have a winner for most grotesque Supreme Court audition yet,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/news-and-politics\/2026\/03\/winner-supreme-court-audition-trump-transgender-dissent.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">was the headline<\/a> for Slate&rsquo;s article attacking VanDyke instead of perverts wagging their privates at kids. Of course Slate never attacks the three Supreme Court justices or hundreds of other federal judges who support policies letting sickos chop off kids&rsquo; breasts and genitals.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Bloomberg Law&rsquo;s headline was: &ldquo;VanDyke Uses Crude Phrase in Case Over Spa&rsquo;s Transgender Policy.&rdquo; <\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Proving VanDyke&rsquo;s point, reporter Suzanne Monyak quoted from the Ninth Circuit&rsquo;s collective hysteria over Flannery O&rsquo;Connor-esque language describing their decision that forces little girls into rooms with naked male strangers. <em>Twenty-nine<\/em> federal judges left the underlying decision untouched while complaining about VanDyke vividly attacking it.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&lsquo;That language makes us sound like juveniles, not judges, and it undermines public trust in the courts. The lead dissent&rsquo;s use of such coarse language and invective may make for publicity or entertainment value, but it has no place in a judicial opinion,&rsquo; wrote Senior Judge M. Margaret McKeown, joined by 26 other Ninth Circuit colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>Judge John B. Owens, an Obama appointee, joined by Trump-appointed Judge Danielle Forrest, wrote a separate statement on VanDyke&rsquo;s dissent with one line: &lsquo;Regarding the dissenting opinion of Judge VanDyke: We are better than this.&rsquo;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The San Francisco Chronicle might take the cake for most Orwellian headline on this story. It reads: &ldquo;A Trump-appointed judge used a vulgar term to attack trans women. His colleagues hit back.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Predictably, corporate media and politicized judges don&rsquo;t care about strong language when it is used to slam their political opponents. It&rsquo;s clear they care neither about vulgar language nor about the horrifying reality that they&rsquo;re enabling the abuse of women and children. Their fake morals are completely subjugated to their political goal of power at all costs. <\/p>\n<p>Vivid proof of this is in the utter lack of judicial outcry, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Alito-Justice-Reshaped-Restored-Constitution\/dp\/1541607139\/ref=sr_1_1?sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">including from<\/a> the three leftists on the Supreme Court, about the continued death threats against constitutionalist justices to the point that constitutionalists like Clarence Thomas often <a href=\"https:\/\/hoodline.com\/2026\/02\/clarence-thomas-bails-on-american-u-law-gig-over-security-scare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cannot show their faces in public<\/a> for fear of being killed by a deranged freak. Look: Threats to judges are a mark of banana republics because such threats obviously influence judicial decisions. Any judge or commentator who claims to care about &ldquo;vulgarities&rdquo; and &ldquo;invective&rdquo; but does not also demand swift restraint against legitimate death threats to colleagues has no credibility.<\/p>\n<p>Let&rsquo;s take a couple of other recent examples. In a picture editorial last year, The New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/5vWZi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lionized<\/a> federal judges for claiming in opinions and oral arguments the Trump administration was &ldquo;hallucinating,&rdquo; engaging in &ldquo;willful and intentional noncompliance,&rdquo; full of &ldquo;racism,&rdquo; &ldquo;nonsensical,&rdquo; &ldquo;Kafkaesque,&rdquo; and &ldquo;a sham.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>CBS News ran <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.com\/Politics\/federal-judges-slammed-trump-administration-court\/story?id=120057553\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a similar package<\/a> last year, quoting judges calling Trump administration politics &ldquo;awfully frightening,&rdquo; accusing it of &ldquo;repeat[ing] its incantation,&rdquo; and saying the administration&rsquo;s challenge to anchor baby policies &ldquo;boggles my mind.&rdquo; Last year, USA Today also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2025\/03\/16\/judges-reactions-trump-administration-explanations\/82403696007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">quoted <\/a>judges outright calling the Trump administration a liar and claiming it was submitting &ldquo;sham documents.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Numerous federal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motherjones.com\/politics\/2026\/02\/temporary-protected-status-kristi-noem-ana-reyes-ruling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">judges<\/a> have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/06\/16\/judge-rebuke-trump-nih-cuts-00409095\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">deployed<\/a> the worst <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/americas\/us-politics\/trump-judge-ice-racial-profiling-minnesota-b2935623.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">slur<\/a> in American life against the Trump administration over completely race-neutral policies: &ldquo;racist.&rdquo; Federal judges have called the administration &ldquo;brazen&rdquo; and &ldquo;lawless,&rdquo; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advocate.com\/news\/judge-slams-trans-military-ban\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">characterizing<\/a> its arguments as &ldquo;frankly ridiculous&rdquo; and &ldquo;demeaning.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>More to VanDyke&rsquo;s point, it is lawless federal judges themselves who have &ldquo;undermined public trust in the courts&rdquo; with decades of patently unconstitutional and politically motivated rulings. Since the New Deal Court legitimized flatly unconstitutional social engineering programs, through the grotesquely meddlesome Warren Court and abominable decisions like <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> and <em>Bostock v. Clayton County<\/em>, federal courts have done the worst damage to themselves with a century of outrageous and abusive rulings combined with the arrogance to assume Americans should submit to their unconstitutional current role as unelected and contradictory superlegislatures. <\/p>\n<p>If lots of courts don&rsquo;t like the Trump administration, they should consider that a massive part of Trump&rsquo;s appeal to the American people has been his promise to do something about this century of judicial abuses and usurpations. If courts were restrained, lawful, and prudent in their rulings, rather than constantly inflicting on Americans illegal and moral outrages like shoving mentally ill penis-waggers into rooms of naked women and children, they would find public trust in them quite improved.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, VanDyke also prompted corporate media <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/judge-lawrence-vandyke-california-guns-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">outrage<\/a> after issuing a video portion attached to his dissent in a gun case.
