When Donald Trump issued a ban on travelers from some Muslim-majority countries just a week into his presidency, Democratic attorneys general were caught off guard. They hadn’t expected the policy, long promised by Trump on the campaign trail, to materialize so quickly.
Over the course of a few days, they scrambled to sue to stop the executive order, setting off four years of intense hostility between top Democratic lawyers and a Republican White House.
Now, Democratic attorneys around the country are already gearing up for the possibility of a second Trump administration by beginning to map out an aggressive legal strategy to fight him again in court — this time with a fresh sense of urgency.
Democratic attorneys general are exploring hiring outside experts and dispatching staff to study areas of the law anticipated to come under attack, like reproductive health, immigration and the environment.
They are identifying staff members best equipped to fight assertions of executive privilege — which Trump invoked in his most high-profile controversies — and states best positioned to lead bigger cases.
And they are scrutinizing Project 2025, the 900-page blueprint from The Heritage Foundation that lays out a conservative agenda for the next Republican presidency.
The early but serious preparations are an acknowledgment that a second Trump presidency would entail these lawyers filing lawsuit after lawsuit against the federal government, to mitigate what they view as a significant threat to democracy and individual rights.

Democratics lawyers on the march.
They aren’t Democrat-ic. They are Democrats. Only recently have they subtly changed the label Democrat to Democrat-ic and they are far from democratic.
Democrat - not democratic.
Their gonna have to spend ALL their money just to stay out of prison. They are scheduled to be put on death row, and they know it.

This is the point where the President announces that lower Courts rulings will not stop the implementation of the law or executive order. The law or order will only be stopped by the Supreme Court. The idea that any federal judge can stop the president is ludicrous.
Amen.
The only individual rights the democrats favor are abortion, excuse me, reproductive freedom.
Not a problem.for the right... Trump will just use SEAL Team 6 to kill them all 🤣🤣🤣
I just call em dims. No ic factor with me.
The first thing that usually happens in a changeover is that all of the US Attorneys get FIRED and an new crew brought it. And I think that since the DOJ has been so much trouble it will get a full house cleaning as much as humanly possible. Garland and his cronies will fired.
Still playing the dishonest word game. The countries targeted were those which had no record system to support proper vetting of the individuals - the fact that they were majority muslim was secondary to the lack of records and history of terrorism.
No, all things on the left are now refered to as democratics. People, policy, terrorists, rioters, etc. Democratics, that is what they are. It makes as much sense as referring to the USA as a democracy.
> reproductive health
The type of health that ends a life.
Don't know if,given the recent SCOTUS ruling,he'd be shielded from the outside stuff but if the Rats come close to controlling the House he'll be impeached at least once more. We'll probably also hear chants of "25th Amendment" from Rat Party Headquarters as well.
Exactly, The lower courts are creations of Congress and how can the legislative branch creations stop the president on anything? Only the Supreme Court can check the presidents actions and even then it is tricky.

There’s absolutely nothing democratic about the Democrat party.
