House Of Judge Opposing Trump Burned Down

 

A South Carolina Circuit Court judge who has been criticized by the lawless Malignant Fascist lost her home to fire on Saturday.  Judge Diane Goodstein had been receiving death threats from apparent MAGAts for weeks for blocking release of the state's voter files to the MF's partisan Department of Justice.  From TIME:

"Police are investigating the cause of a fire that burned down the home of South Carolina Circuit Court judge Diane Goodstein, who had reportedly received death threats for weeks related to her work.

State law enforcement is investigating the house fire on Edisto Beach, which began at around 11:30 a.m. E.T. on Saturday, sources told local news outlet FITSNews. Goodstein was reportedly not at home at the time of the fire, but at least three members of her family, including her husband, former Democratic state senator Arnold Goodstein, and their son, have been hospitalized with serious injuries.

The 69-year-old judge had received death threats in the weeks leading up to the fire, multiple sources told FITSNews. Last month, Goodstein had temporarily blocked the state’s election commission from releasing its voter files to the Department of Justice, a decision that was openly criticized by Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon and later reversed by the state Supreme Court. The DOJ had sought the information, including names, addresses, driver’s license numbers, and social security numbers, of over three million registered voters as part of President Donald Trump’s March executive order restricting non-citizens from registering to vote. (Non-citizens are already not allowed to vote in federal and state elections.)". (our emphasis)

The MF's continual attack on judges that don't approve his unconstitutional power grabs has become a dangerous element of his lawless regime.  His deputy Führer Stephen Miller just attacked Federal District Judge Karin Immergut (ironically an MF appointee) for blocking National Guard troops from deployment in Portland.  His violent cult members are watching the MF's social media posts for ways to please him, including threats of violence and violence itself on those targeted as the MF's "enemies." Whether this is one of those instances will be determined by fire officials, but it would be the least surprising thing if it was arson triggered by the unhinged MF and his enablers.
