When the frequent court foes of Donald Trump’s first administration look back at the early days of his presidency, they recall “building the airplane as we were flying it,” as outgoing Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson has described it. That was especially true of the intense and quick-moving court fight over the so-called travel ban, a seminal 2017 lawsuit that set the tone for four more years of legal confrontations.
None of the Democratic state attorneys general who originally took Trump to court over that controversial policy will still be in office when he is inaugurated next month. But their successors won’t be starting from scratch this time around, even amid a different legal landscape and political climate.
They have been preparing for months, if not years, for what kind of lawsuits they might want to bring against a Trump 2.0 agenda. They’ve done so as the president-elect and his deputies have promised a more sophisticated and less error-prone operation this time.
Washington’s attorney general-elect, Nick Brown, has been reading up on how key legal doctrines such as standing have shifted since the first Trump administration. The day after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, California Attorney General Rob Bonta asked his staff to draft potential strategies for how his state could challenge a national abortion ban.
Democrats are anticipating sharp battles over mass deportation, abortion access, the environment and consumer protection, among other issues. Compared to Trump’s 2016 campaign, the president-elect and his allies have been “a little bit more predictable with specifics,” Bonta said.
“We expect him to do what he says,” added Bonta, who was in the California legislature during the first Trump presidency. “We’ve been through this once at 1.0 and understand a lot of the places where he broke the law.”

Gearing up for the Demodogs to lose the midterms
This is why extreme far-left Feral “judges” are so important to the RAT turd rollers. The bass turds have weaponized the judicial system. It’s a joke.
Lawfare needs to go both ways. Destroy the lives of these attorneys. And their families. Bankruptcy and jail time. If they turn out to be innocent of ... whatever ... we can find out in 5 years or so. The important thing is to charge them with something and keep them on defense. We now have trillions of dollars we can use to ruin them.
“Lawfare needs to go both ways. Destroy the lives of these attorneys. ... “
Naw, “Republicans” are too busy fighting amongst themselves.
“Lawfare needs to go both ways. Destroy the lives of these attorneys. ... “
Totally agree.
Mr president please use the force of the United states government and our endless tax dollars to bleed them dry and destroy them ALL
Democrats have no interest in making America great again.
MORE TARGETS ARE SELF-IDENTIFYING
That’s right!
Investigate these RATS and dig up dirt on them.
“
We are headed for major mid term losses and we haven’t even begun yet. 🙄
Maybe there is no peaceful solution for America.
“We are headed for major mid term losses and we haven’t even begun yet. 🙄”
Agreed.
“Maybe there is no peaceful solution for America.”
I think we’ve gone too far down the path that the Romans followed.
LIKE!!!!!!
EC
Agree.
How sickening!
Democrats (and RINOs):
Publlic enemies #1
Continuing the destruction of America with the taxpayers picking up the tab. What they forget is that the people can play the same game; being unrestricted by the rule of law is a two way street.
FIRE THE ATTORNEYS

I don’t see Kash or Pam not fighting them back with everything at their disposal
