I hear people say Trump is dismantling our democracy and no one is stopping him. Not so! Lawyers are the super heroes, with lawsuits and judges standing up for the rule of law. Check out the litigation tracker in justsecurity.org.

Maybe its a good time for a little Executive Order (EO) primer, a few wee tools for sorting wheat from chaff so it seems like less of a deluge. Item 1. EOs have to comply with the Constitution & laws, including acts of Congress. Any that don't will face long court battles before anything changes. /1
