The work these groups do will be critical during a second Trump Administration.

    Are any of these orgs more powerful than the judicial branch and executive branch combined? If not they are just collecting empty money, a grift but for the other side

      We need lots and lots of lawyers on our side to fight this stuff. Sometimes we will lose in court, but often we won’t. A lot of judges actually do believe in the rule of law. Not everything will make it to the Supreme Court and not everything that does make it there will be upheld.

      If we don’t fight things in court, nothing stops them from taking effect, so that is priority number 1 in terms of funding. We need to pay good lawyers good money or else they’ll watch the US crumble with the rest of us.

        That’s how it of course worked in the past. Now the lower court decisions don’t matter because they will just push it to state and federal Supreme courts where they are stuffed with immoral judges in pay for play rulings. Sounds dramatic and grim because it fucking is.
