Fighting fire with fire [View all]

Yesterday, with a judge ruling that the end of birthright citizenship is unconstitutional, I believe that the way to fight trump became apparent.

He is president because he spent years tying the rule of law up in the courts; in a sane world, he would be in prison for his crimes. This is the approach that may save the US from the worst of his maniacal slate of EOs.

Tie every word he issues up in court. Slow him down; delay, delay, delay. Take everything you can right up to SCOTUS. Yes, they have a corrupt majority, but just getting there will take time, money and legal expertise. Bog him down in bullshit and bury him in it.

I'm aware that I have no real say in the future of the US, but for the sake of my DU friends, I sincerely hope this madman can be stopped.
