Since you have trouble understanding this subject, I’m here to help you out. Enjoy:

A California federal judge Friday ordered the Trump administration to stop threatening election officials with criminal prosecution in its ongoing efforts to crack down on noncitizen voting.

U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson issued a temporary restraining order connected to a lawsuit brought by unions representing California election workers earlier Friday. In her decision, the Biden-appointed judge noted Election Day was “around the corner.”


“Ballots have already been issued. Americans have already begun voting. Workers have already begun processing ballots,” Thompson wrote. “Given the consequences of inaction, the Court sees no reason to delay its ruling.”

The order also directs the Trump administration to halt its efforts to force these workers to remove certain people from voter rolls, deny ballot requests to some voters or set aside ballots for individuals it suspects are ineligible to vote.

The plaintiffs involved in this case include The Service Employees International Union; American Federation Of State, County and Municipal Employees; the League Of United Latin American Citizens and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.



The initial complaint accuses Attorney General Todd Blanche and other top Justice Department (DOJ) officials of carrying out “a coordinated campaign to intimidate, threaten, and coerce state and local officials and employees.”


This week, the DOJ sent letters to election officials in all 50 states threatening potential prosecution if they failed to preserve election records.

The DOJ had sent similar correspondence a week prior to election officials in every California county, demanding they work with the federal government to identify potential noncitizens on their voter rolls. The letter warned these officials would “risk significant federal scrutiny” if they failed to comply with this request.


Earlier this week, another federal judge in California threw out the Trump administration’s lawsuit attempting to require the state to set aside the ballots of 20,000 people the federal government had identified as potential noncitizens. A split federal appeals court panel upheld this ruling Friday.

SFP- This is Lawfare


Which part?

The actions by the admin?
The rulings?
The comments?

You're going to need a different definition for all 3 things

This is what you do: “they didn’t file the proper paperwork and go through the right process therefore it’s all correct interpretations by the courts.” The Judicial Branch is infallible and it’s always the fault of something else, insufferable doucher

A Biden-appointed judge ruling that no one is to be held accountable for allowing illegals to vote - that is just one example of Lawfare. There are plenty more in the article. You disagree?

that's a lot like the infantry man experiencing drones, heavy artillery, rifle fire, mustard gas, bomblets, mortars, and then asking should we be concerned about the lack of a declaration of war.

When the federal government has no control over a federal election, I would call that a big problem

This right here should allow everyone to truly see what and who you are on this site. This is clear lawfare.....and now everyone on here knows what a truly low IQ, POS you are. Sure, most people with a functioning brain knew who you were and what your game is on here. There were a few on the short bus that should see now. You are literally trying to deflect and argue this is not blatant lawfare. You really are a POS.

He doesn't. He knows damn well what it is, but will never admit it because he supports the intended goals of said lawfare.

Correct. I do not

This thread is a good example of people having trouble understanding my arguments, and then engaging in strawman fallacies left and right, trying to create an argument I never made.

Now this part is NOT true. I know about 50 things it could be, based on 50 different definitions used. Look at OP. 3 different scenarios of potential "lawfare", each with their own definition.

I don't know what lawfare is to support or oppose it

When judges say election laws can’t be enforced, you don’t have a legitimate election system.

None have done this. You're using creative framing.

What's being discussed is actions of the admin purportedly authorized by certain election-related laws.

Those sorts of admin actions are always subject to judicial review. See: Biden student loan forgiveness admin action and vax mandate admin action.

No rational person took those rulings and proclaimed that OSHA or the HEROES Act can't be enforced. Rational people understand they have to be enforced by legal admin behavior.

Stop deflecting. Just answer the question: Do you believe what transpired in this article is “Lawfare”? Yes or No?

Before you say you don’t know what Lawfare is, I can help you on that as well. Straight from Google, “Lawfare is the strategic use of legal systems, courts, and laws as a weapon to harm, weaken, or defeat a military, political, or commercial adversary.”

Does this qualify as Lawfare according to Google’s definition?
