As troubling as Trump’s directives are,
it’s certain that they will face considerable barriers to implementation,
first and foremost in the courts.

The recent order has received widespread criticism,
including from high-ranking officials and numerous nonprofit leaders and experts.

Colorado Secretary of State #Jena #Griswold deemed it
“unlawful” in a statement, as the AP reported.

By March 31, three lawsuits against the order had already been launched.

One is a joint effort by "Campaign Legal Center" and the
"State Democracy Defenders Fund"

Another was then filed by the
"Democratic National Committee".

Diaz explained that his organization is representing three others:
the "League of United Latin American Citizens",
"Secure Families Initiative"
and the "Arizona Students’ Association"
— “all of whom represent constituencies that would be really dramatically affected by the policies in this executive order,”
he told Truthout.

While all legal actions are only at their very early stages,
there’s hope that the implementation of the order can be halted quickly,
as has been the case in some other legal contestations of the Trump-Musk agenda.

“Our case is really focused on the separation-of-powers issues.

The president simply does not have the authority,
under the Constitution or any federal statute,
to dictate the content of voter registration forms
or to set receipt deadlines for mail ballots.

He has completely exceeded any legal authority he has here,” said Diaz.

“And so we’re asking the court to declare those aspects of the executive order unconstitutional,
and to enjoin the Election Assistance Commission,
the Department of Justice
and the Department of Defense
from taking any action to implement the president’s order.”

Whether pursued via state violence,
blustering anti-democratic rhetoric,
or the quieter backdoor manipulations of law and policy,
it’s clear that suppression of opponents and the flagrant abuse of power
— sometimes, it seems, pursued for power’s sake alone,
or merely for the evident joy of cruelty
— will be the modus operandi of this presidency.

Yet as the Trump administration strains by means legitimate and otherwise
to grotesquely expand its reach,
there is certainly reason for hope in how,
when the administration oversteps,
committed dissenters,
from the courtroom to the streets,
rise without hesitation to meet them.

Trump Assumes Unheard-of Powers in Ordering Federal Overhaul of Elections

His order on voter policy could disenfranchise millions, but multiple lawsuits have already sprung up to challenge it.

Griswold gets inspected, day 12. The grand finale! Not only is it illegal, but dumping sewage from your RV into a storm sewer is damaging to local waterways. No matter how full Cousin Eddie's sh@##*r is, don't allow him to do it! #griswold #whosyourinspector #homeinspection
Griswold gets inspected, day 11. For live Christmas tress, it is important to make sure they get plenty of water. Also; do not, I repeat, DO NOT allow your Uncle Lewis to light his cigar near your tree. #griswold #whosyourinspector #homeinspection #cincinnatirealestate

‘Tis the season to season.

Griswold gets inspected, day 10. When buying a live Christmas tree, be sure to thoroughly inspect the tree for any wildlife. Wild animals will likely panic and become aggressive. Good thing Clark stayed calm to address this issue. #griswold #whosyourinspector #homeinspection
Griswold gets inspected; day 9. An arc flash, like when Clark plugged his lights in, can cause severe burns or start a fire! Inspect cords for damage and avoid overloading circuits. #griswold #whosyourinspector #homeinspection #cincinnatirealestate #daytonrealestate
Griswold gets inspected, day 8. Overloading extension cords like this is a fire hazard! Always use power strips with surge protection and avoid daisy-chaining cords. Stay safe Ellen! #griswold #whosyourinspector #homeinspection #cincinnatirealestate #daytonrealestate
Griswold gets inspected; day 7. More on the subject of attics, to properly traverse an attic, always walk on the joists/rafters, not on the insulation or drywall. These areas won't support your weight, as Clark quickly found out. #griswold #homeinspection #whosyourinspector
#6 of Griswold gets inspected. An insulated attic ensures energy efficiency, comfort, and the health of your home. This attic has no insulation installed. Forget the pool, Clark! You aren't going to be able to pay your gas bill! #griswold #whosyourinspector #homeinspection
Day 5, Griswold gets inspected! Clark shouldn't have gotten stuck in the attic. If you are unable to open the attic ladder from inside the attic, that is a safety defect and should be repaired. Stay warm Clark! #griswold #homeinspection #whosyourinspector #cincinnatirealestate
