You Can't Ignore Me Dan

 

Today's Action:
Call your friends at your state senator's office and demand that they address the Trump administration's seeming desire to ignore the courts.

White House spokesperson Harrison Fields: “Each executive order will hold up in court because every action of the Trump-Vance administration is completely lawful. Any legal challenge against it is nothing more than an attempt to undermine the will of the American people.”

Vice President JD Vance (a graduate of Yale Law School btw): "...Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power."

BOTH FALSE

The good news is that many of Trump's illegal executive orders are starting to be challenged in the courts. Currently, there are lawsuits against the administration in the areas of immigration, budget freezes and firings, transgender rights, and January 6 investigators. Many see the courts as the path of most resistance to Trump's aggressive agenda. Already, the courts have blocked some of Trump's actions. Alarmingly, the Trump administration did not fully comply with at least two of these rulings so far. Concerns are mounting that this administration will continue to ignore court rulings and throw America into a Constitutional crisis. In America, we operate on a system of trust that the government will work properly, and if the administration blatantly ignores court orders, there is a very limited course of action to stop them from doing so. The system of checks and balances is at the core of our democracy, and its upset, in this case giving more power to the Executive branch than others- as outlined explicitly in Project 2025, would provide unleashed power to an already dangerous administration.

Script:
Hi my name is (NAME) and I'm calling from (CITY, STATE, ZIP). I am calling to ask Senator (NAME) to do everything in his/her/their power to ensure that the Trump administration follows court orders- specifically those pertaining to the legality of his executive orders. I ask the senator to speak out publicly, work on contingency plans in the event that the administration does not comply, and reach across the aisle to save our democracy. As a citizen, I am becoming increasingly concerned that the power this administration is attempting to give the executive branch is going unchecked, and I ask the senator to please address this important issue. Thank you, (NAME)
