And they told white liberals to "F OFF."

The reaction to the reelection of Donald Trump in the media has ranged from histrionic to outright hysteria. MSNBC analyst and former Sen. Claire McCaskill wept openly on television as CBS News anchor John Dickerson got choked up on national television in an interview on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," struggling to discuss the news days after the election.

However, arguably the most perplexing response came a few days ago when the New York Times ran a column from one of the advocates of the lawfare used against Trump since 2016.

Yale Law Professor Samuel Moyn has long been a favorite of the New York Times as part of what I have previously described as a counter-constitutional movement in higher education. As I discuss in my book, "The Indispensable Right," Moyn and others have insisted that the constitution itself may be the problem with America.

In a prior New York Times op-ed, "The Constitution Is Broken and Should Not Be Reclaimed," Moyn and Professor Ryan D. Doerfler of Harvard called for liberals to "reclaim America from constitutionalism."

While the New York Times publicly condemned a U.S. senator for writing about the use of the National Guard to stop violent protests (as would be done at both the White House and the Capitol), it has published a long line of figures who have engaged in violent or extremist rhetoric from the left.

However, this particular column may not be worth the ink and hypocrisy needed to publish it. The New York Times long lionized those who brought raw partisan prosecutions against Trump and his allies, including efforts to cleanse ballots to deny citizens the opportunity to vote for the man who just won the popular vote.
