Billionaire Elon Musk believes “lawfare has gotten out of control” following the resurfacing of a New York Times article from shortly after President Donald Trump was re-elected.
The piece, titled “Liberal Legal Group Positions Itself as a Top Trump Administration Foe,” was published just nine days after Trump beat out Vice President Kamala Harris on November 5. In it, the author explains that Democracy Forward is going to launch a “large-scale new effort aimed at thwarting” Trump’s agenda.
The outlet admits that left-leaning organizations were planning legal attacks on Trump before he could even be sworn in.
“More than 800 lawyers at 280 organizations have begun developing cases and workshopping specific challenges to what the group has identified as 600 ‘priority legal threats’ — potential regulations, laws and other administrative actions that could require a legal response, its leaders said. The project, called Democracy 2025, aims to be a hub of opposition to the new Trump administration,” they reported.
“We’re leveling up and lawyering up,” said Skye Perryman, the CEO of Democracy Forward. “This wasn’t something that just everybody woke up the day after the election and started to plan.”
Indeed, NYT reported that this has been a legal battle two years in the making.
“Democracy Forward has spent the last two years working to identify the possible actions the new Trump administration could take on issues they see as key priorities to defend, the group’s leaders said, using as a blueprint Mr. Trump’s first-term actions, his campaign promises and plans released by his allies, including the Heritage Foundation and its Project 2025 agenda,” the article reads.

X users agreed that the pre-meditated use of the legal system to jam up Trump and undermine the will of voters is unacceptable:
We citizens cannot let them succeed. All of us must stay the course and back the play
We are behind you and the others because I want my country back for my children and grandchildren

Sound like a planned insurrection, Gitmo is going to be busy.

Continue with the work you are doing with auditing and documenting facts. If it is obvious mismanagement and corruption, lawfare will just be another stump to plow around. It’s time to shut down and combine agencies and tasks. Far too much duplication where I worked at USDA.

Start naming names in all the fraud, waste, and abuse @DOGE is uncovering.
Make their lawyers too busy to engage in lawfare.
