Dem Daily Update
For 2/20/25
Yes, we want every Democrat at every level, speaking out, filing lawsuits & defying this fascist takeover from evil bastards
But in ways big & small,
Dems are fighting back.
We just want more.
More importantly,
We must hold every Republican accountable!
@SueInRockville I, most definitely, want more. Dems can replicate Trump's legal strategy.
Every blue state AG could file 10 lawsuits, based on novel legal principles, against every illegal executive order and each illegal action, producing a litigation tsunami against Trump and his politicized DOJ. This is exactly what Trump has done most of his adult life, and amped it up for the past ten years.
There's a HUGE problem with that strategy: it's not just a tsunami against Trump, it's also a tsunami against courts whose judges don't appreciate it and who have broad authority to react as they see fit.
Even judges who might tend to rule against Trump might be swayed the other direction if they feel like they are being used inappropriately as this sort of strategy.
In short, a strategy like that feel good but actually end up being quite counterproductive, giving Trump a bunch of wins in courts as the judges dismiss challenges to deal with the sudden flood of filings.
