THREADETTE: Folks, I know this ever-growing list of cases brought by those seeking to thwart Trump Administration's agenda seems daunting & watching federal judges enter TROs prohibiting implementation of policies is disheartening, but these case are all on fast track. 1/

2/ Because Plaintiffs are all seeking injunctions, Trump will be able to appeal preliminary injunctions immediately. Such appeals are expedited & so the America First agenda will not be tied up in courts for long. ALSO, most of TROs entered have major flaws making them ripe

3/ for quick reversal, either b/c Plaintiffs lack standing, there is no imminent harm, or no final agency action. In fact, those flaws have left the TROs toothless w/ the Court telling Trump, in essence, "don't do what you can't do."

4/ That is really only thing Court can do when Plaintiffs bring case challenging everything & no individualized evidence of violation. Now, there might be situations where Executive branch lacked authority to do something, but w/ no focus, impossible to say what is violation.

5/5 This strategy isn't wise either legally or politically: Legally, lack of specifics make injunction harder to sustain on appeal & politically Americans see this for what it is--resistance to will of voters. So, in short, this too shall pass.
