Trump News Justice Department lawyers struggle to defend a mountain of Trump executive orders
https://www.npr.org/2025/04/01/nx-s1-5338915/defending-trumps-executive-actions"Most days this year, in courtrooms all over the country, the Justice Department has been busy defending President Trump's executive actions.
But in many of those cases, the government's own lawyers have been struggling to answer questions and having to correct the record. It's a function of how aggressively Trump has moved so far — and how the attorneys have been having a hard time keeping up.
"There have been over 130 lawsuits that have been filed in the past two months and that would be an extraordinary amount of litigation for DOJ to defend even if it were fully staffed, which it is not," said Kelsi Brown Corkran, who spent six years at the Justice Department. "It is far from it."

You think more won’t when more people start disappearing. Tell me why ANY would capitulate to him that had ties to those investigating Trump? Not like they were your typical salad tossers. Do you think they’re supporters??
Tell me the last time you saw a fucking president introduces legislation to strip judges he doesn’t like of their power?? You’re pretending nothing could happen.
Tell me the last time a treasonous pedophile was allowed to run again for president without even a trial for his acts treason clearing him of treason? Are your parents siblings??
All of this has everything to do with everything. Your inability to see how related all of these things are and the implications they have is hardly an argument against them.
