After Democrats succeeded in unraveling much of the Trump agenda through a California-led deluge of lawsuits, they now face a sobering reality: Their courtroom playbook is about to be turned against them.

Republican attorneys general are angling to retaliate with equal force, further pushing the boundaries of an elected position that not long ago was among the most apolitical in state government.

Texas already took the lead in filing the first big lawsuit, which challenges Biden’s pause on deportations.

I’ll believe it when I see it. I bet at the end of 4-years, the number of ‘nationwide injunctions’ issued against Biden’s agenda will be dwarfed by the number that were issued against Trump.

In addition to California, Washington State sued the Trump Administration many, many times...or threatened to. Don't forget to threaten to, too...

All the times Washington state has sued the Trump administration (or threatened to)

Excellent!

Lawsuits in every state where the odds are in our favor. Lawsuits in every district where there is a good chance of a sympathetic judge.

Bury Biden in lawsuits until he doesn’t have time to implement new harmful policies.

This federal government is an enemy of the American people. Let’s tie them up (legally).
