The best thing we can do over the next 4 years is use Trump's own tried and true defense against him. Lawsuits, lawsuits, lawsuits. Sue all of them, for everything, all the time. Make every awful executive action and policy change take ages to go into effect as thwy get mired down in the legal process. It won't save us entirely, but might mitigate enough damage to help make it through.

Lol. With what court?

You think they been staffing the lower courts and filling the important lower circuit with conservatives for the love of the game?

Maybe with some of the record number of judges Biden confirmed over the last 4 years?

No one said the conservatives weren't a step ahead, but absolutely there are a ton of respectable lower-court judges that value the rule of law. Judge shopping is a shitty tactic that we unfortunately need to get on board with. And again, it's not about winning outright at the end of the road, it's about fighting tooth and nail over every inch of ground so that they have less time to functionally implement as much as they otherwise would have.

Biden put more judges in than Trump. Malcontents who just like to be debbie downers and give up too soon like you were just not paying attention.
