That didn’t take long, but we knew it wouldn’t. Lefty organizations have been fundraising off their promises to fight Trump for a decade now. And since most of them aren’t going to be organizing protests and there are no more presidential elections coming up featuring Trump, that mostly means suing the federal government.

Don’t underestimate lawfare. A barrage of lawsuits helped slow the Trump agenda to a crawl in his first term so it was always going to be a rush out of the gate. And the ACLU got in first with a lawsuit challenging an end to birthright citizenship for children born to illegal aliens.

The ACLU knew this was coming and its lawsuit is underwhelming and depends heavily on the 14th Amendment, which did not create birthright citizenship, but protected the rights of freed slaves.

Everyone knows this, but the Left likes to pretend otherwise.

And the ACLU doesn’t have much of anything in this lawsuit except a battle over the meaning of the 14th Amendment. That and the Administrative Procedures Act which is the laziest and most unconstitutional attack on any law, but it has worked before.

So it may work again.

Time to make it openly known to Roberts he is being investigated with a magnifying glass. Because he is compromised and about to try and thwart everything Trump is doing. He needs to be made to walk on pins and needles and think twice about trying to redefine the Constitution.
