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.
