Former ethics czar and impeachment lawyer Norm Eisen is working with a group of attorneys fighting back against Trump over they are calling his unlawful actions.
Eisen said that they have been successful in court so far
The very first case, locking Musk out of the Treasury Department. He has no right to look at that data, he said, referring to a challenge which saw a judge at the weekend temporarily cut Musks access to the nations financial records.
Tying the hands of the president, the attorney general and others who want to dox reveal the identity of 6,000 FBI agents. They dont have any legal right to do that under the Privacy Act and otherwise, he went on, referencing plans to name agents who worked on January 6 cases.
He also pointed out that they are in court fighting Trumps effort to rewrite the Constitution. The legal team also filed a brief on behalf of almost two dozen conservatives fighting back against the purge of federal staffers who work for congressionally established and funded agencies.
This offer to force federal employees out without the permission of Congress is illegal. And that case will be heard today. We've been involved in many of these cases, and they're going to lose, Eisen said.
I think that the courts will start with civil contempt. They'll move to criminal contempt. They have broader sanctions. They're going to rule against the administration, promised Eisen. In that case, I think the Supreme Court will back them up.
The host also wondered if there was any way to enforce the court rulings if Trump decided to ignore them, asking whether the U.S. Marshals would get involved.
American democracy is strong enough to meet this test, he added. We are at a crossroads. That's why we've been involved in dozens of cases, with dozens more coming in the weeks and months ahead.
I believe in the strength of American democracy. If Donald Trump and Elon Musk and J.D. Vance test the will of the American people or the American courts, they are going to get a very strong pushback.
Another Defeat For Trump
Trumps controversial plan to end birthright citizenship was blocked in court for a third time Monday.
A federal judge in New Hampshire issued an injunction halting Trumps executive order the third time its been hindered.
Trumps order sought to stop children of undocumented immigrants from becoming citizens if they were born in the USA. The right is enshrined in the Constitution.
Judge Joseph N. Laplante issued the injunction, effective immediately. He said his reasons would be detailed Tuesday.
Similar orders were issued by judges in Maryland and Seattle last week. There have been seven lawsuits filed challenging the order.
The lawsuit filed in New Hampshire came from the American Civil Liberties Union.
Trump is also removing the Head of The Office of Govt Ethics from his post.....
