And of course Trump says any lawsuit which doesn't align with his fascist extreme illegal goals is "frivolous". (And ignores that the law is already established about what constitutes a frivial lawsuit.
This is a guy who’s never cracked open a dictionary, I don’t think he’s brushed up on legal definitions.
Same with all of the "fraud" spending they found
Is this the same guy who wants to sue journalists for "unfair" coverage?
😂
Just have your fucking stroke already you ancient fuck.
Then pass anti-SLAPP laws, then. Oh, it's all talk? Figured.
It's not all talk. He's going to go after the attorneys and law firms which file suit against his illegal and unethical orders.
I mean saying that he is going after frivolous lawsuits is an empty promise.
The judiciary could shut this down pretty quick by referring DOJ lawyers who attempt to enforce this inappropriately for disbarment.
Oh the irony.
This moron thinks he found a real life cheat code by spamming executive orders, he's not a king yet he's acting as one and our other leaders aren't doing shit about it. Justice can't win if we take the high ground, people are going to have to get dirty to beat this wanna be tyrant.
Frivolous = any lawsuit against him.
From the most prolific vexatious litgant in America.
*Trump declares war on the US legal system, the Judicial branch, and lawyers who prefer to follow their oath over politics
His EO says
against the United States or in matters before executive departments and agencies of the United States.
The first amendment says:
to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
This EO is literally just rescinding the first amendment.
…from one the most childish people on the internet.
"Noooo haha, you don't need regulations, you can just sue to be made whole through the courts (lol)"
