"There are all sorts of ways this whole thing is being ramped up and if I could use Russell [Brown's] tweet from earlier on: we have met the enemy and he is [the] U.S."

Judge Harvey's remark is a play on the line "we have met the enemy and he is us" by American cartoonist Walt Kelly.

Actually, Judge Harvey's remark WAS the line "we have met the enemy and he is us". The '[the]' is annotated to show it was inserted by the editor, and obviously the punctuation on 'us' was inserted as well. Very deceptive editorial spin in order to justify the entire article's existence.
