Question: All these atrocities being "done" by the Trump admin: Are there any lawyers out there

filing suit against his activities?

It seems like he's attempting to do all kinds of stuff that, while horrific if achieved, should be stopped by fairly simple lawsuits.

Are there lawyers on our side on the case?

And, if so, where do I give my money to donate?

I know the ACLU is already working on some actions. Are there others?

Environmental lawyers, etc?

obviously mentally ill. He has only been in there a week and he has threatened to take
Iraq's oil. He wants to bring back torture. Threatened to send troops to Chicago. Violated the
first amendment daily. Then there is his financial crimes. This country has lost its mind.

...there are myriad organizations, individuals, committees and others filing lawsuits, and complaints to orgs which have ability to issue subpoenas.

What we need is a comprehensive list, but it's an expanding one.

By writing and passing a law that is able to block the executive order.

... shit that would be acted on.

The M$M should focus on his actions and ignore EVERY SINGLE WORD he tweets says or utters... they're meaningless now sense he's a big shit talker.

He can say "I'm going to blow shit up tomorrow" ... just take away the codes and go to bed.

He's worse than a kid

P.S. Also pointed at on Chris Hayes tonight that most of those EOs are a bunch of bullshit
