From johnmenadue.com: The transnational authoritarian Right employs the strategy of discrediting institutions, including the judiciary, through the label “activist judges” to undermine democratic processes in both the US and Australia.

This campaign, driven by networked organizations such as the Atlas Network and the Mont Pelerin Society, aims to manipulate legal outcomes and discourage judicial accountability, particularly concerning issues like climate change and Indigenous rights.

High-profile figures and right-wing media reinforce these narratives, seeking to transform the judiciary into a compliant entity that serves their political objectives.
