Popok outlines how favorable federal courts, trial level and appellate, hand-picked by progressives, combined with State attorney generals and prosecutors, can help check Trump's unbridled power and prevent the worst of his agenda and policies from being implemented."

The U.S. Department of Justice says Alabama cannot use conspiracy laws to prosecute people and groups who help women leave the state to obtain an abortion. The department filed a statement of interest in consolidated lawsuits brought by an abortion fund and others against Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall. Marshall has suggested his office would “look at” groups who provide abortion assistance. Alabama bans abortion at any stage of pregnancy with no exceptions for rape and incest. The only exemption is if a pregnancy seriously threatens the pregnant patient’s health. Marshall's office said he is prepared to defend state law.
