Groups Lining Up to Oppose Trump's Expected Expansion of Presidential Power
[NBC News, hat tip to Townhall] Now, bracing for Trump’s potential return, a loose-knit of public interest groups and lawmakers is quietly devising plans to try to foil any efforts to expand presidential power, which could include pressuring the military to cater to his political needs.
Planning another slow-motion insurrection, like 2016 and 2020?
Those taking part in the effort told NBC News they are studying Trump’s past actions and 2024 policy positions so that they will be ready if he wins in November. That involves preparing to take legal action and send letters to Trump appointees spelling out consequences they’d face if they undermine constitutional norms.
Comparing and contrasting to the current administration, are they?
"We’re already starting to put together a team to think through the most damaging types of things that he [Trump] might do so that we’re ready to bring lawsuits if we have to," said Mary McCord, executive director of the Institution for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at Georgetown Law. Part of the aim is to identify like-minded organizations and create a coalition to challenge Trump from day one, those taking part in the discussions said.
2024 just keeps looking better and better. Sedition, anyone?
