Damn ur right we should just give up and let him do this unopposed. This is definitely a helpful suggestion and not nihilistic in the slightest.
“This thing is legally dubious and therefore technically unenforceable.” Is not a “useless liberal gotcha” it’s how legalism works in this country. Tying up stupidly worded EOs in court is the quickest way to keep them from being implemented. It is the definition of “doing something.” But it doesn’t usually involve much tweeting so of course a certain type of leftist feels obligated to mock it.
#‘oh but he’s going to do it anyway!!!!’ yeah but now there’s legal basis to not follow his orders#I’m truly so tired of people doomering on my post about the legions of people fighting Trump tooth and nail in court#to delay his EOs from taking effect#for YEARS Republicans have blocked progressive actions by leveraging the courts to their advantage#but if progressive people do the same suddenly they’re wasting their time? Miss me with that be
