I'm just happy to see any kind of push back because the silent responses so far has been deafening

Why it's difficult to people understand there is no justice system anymore. He won't comply with court orders, and Patel will investigate and arrest judges.

How long do lawsuits take in the USA?

heather-alexis.bsky.social•18 days ago

They're going to take longer and longer. He's flooding the court system by doing a dozen or more illegal things everyday.

redsvelocity.bsky.social•18 days ago

more time for them to be forgotten about and longer for them to ever pass?

istolethecarradio.bsky.social•18 days ago

Took them long enough. Seriously, should have pressed charges at day 1

We need to get states to protect gender affirming care.

What will a lawsuit do? Who will enforce it? In all seriousness, what will this do?

I am all for lawsuits but what happens now when the GOP owns all three branches of government and does not care about laws or constitution?

sirinin.bsky.social•18 days ago

lawsuits are our only recourse left right now, the benefit of them is that in states where it's already protected, a lawsuit can be used to convince providers to provide the care again as there's legal precedent protecting them. beyond this all we can do is hopelessly press congress for new laws

i believe maryland and new york has those, could be wrong though

We need to take a page from the Scientology playbook (yes, really) and file lawsuits against every single individual member of every single agency who's involved in implementing these policies. Right down to the lowliest bean counter.

Threaten the livelihood of everyone who complies.

Also sue Paramount, ABC, Disney, Amazon and every other entity that is corruptly buying influence. Sue all the Tesla hackers rifling through confidential and classified information. No qualified immunity for non GOVT actors.

Problem is this needs Scientology levels of money.

What do they care about filed Lawsuits..

Thank you for providing some actual exposure and coverage. Seems like conventional reporting just cannot spread the word to hold institutions accountable (whether it be due to lack of personnel, resources, management, whatever).

legality will be decided by the victor. our notions and ideals of previous law matter none when the deciding factor on all laws is open to reinterpretation by the current supreme court.

Any kind of pushback is pushback. It's good. Even if it fails, hit him with another. Everyone is way overdue to start this process.
I hope this is a win for you all.
The children did not deserve to be stripped of this right.

Finally, something.

I fully support this and am not trying to be another cynical enabler of the current regime.

I am still curious though, is this enough? Is there more that can be done?

Willingly interested in hearing hypotheticals to help stoke optimism of pushing back against bad policy!

Thoughts?

millie29.bsky.social•18 days ago

This is what they wanted.
Congress needs to act bc SCOTUS will definitely ban it
