Law Dork ties SPLC indictment to Klan history and Todd Blanche

Chris Geidner's Law Dork column argues the Department of Justice's indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center revives historical entanglements between the DOJ and the Ku Klux Klan. Geidner documents parallels between current prosecutorial tactics and Klan-era cooperation, framing the indictment as another dark day for DOJ. He sharply criticizes attorney Todd Blanche, saying Blanche's approach amounts to bad-faith litigation and labels his conduct ignominious. Geidner warns the case could deepen public mistrust of the DOJ and reopen questions about the agency's historical biases.
