The article discusses the ineffectiveness of relying solely on the courts to fight against the actions of the Trump-Musk administration. Despite numerous lawsuits aimed at challenging Trump's executive orders, the judiciary has been compromised with judges loyal to Trump. The author warns that while some lawsuits from organizations like the ACLU or AFL-CIO might be righteous and necessary, the courts will not proactively protect citizens from harm. Instead, they react to crises, making them ill-suited for immediate defense against political threats.
They have stacked the Supreme Court with justices hostile to civil rights and equality. This doesn't mean that cases... are destined to fail.
The courts will not "save" us. They will not be the backstop protecting us from the Trump-Musk takeover.
Their cases are righteous... and must be brought. Some might even succeed.
The courts move slowly. They are designed to move slowly. A court has to wait for a bad thing to happen.
