from a legal standpoint to stop this disgraceful suppression?

(5,499 posts)We'd have to know the votes where there though. Otherwise the Republicans could probably just run out the clock.
Other than that there is not really anything legal that I can think of.

The only remedy might be the 25th amendment, but the toadies surrounding Trump are not unlike the 900+ Kool-Aid drinkers at Jonestown. 62 days.

(16,616 posts)the legal theory should be that the actions being taken now are in bad faith, efforts to sabotage the incoming administration, including but not limited to:
Lame duck judicial appointments
Trump stuffing "moles" into various agencies
Any removals of people Biden/Harris wish to keep
Any Executive Orders
Miscellaneous cruel and despicable idiocy, like sticking a Holocaust Denier on whatever panel that was yesterday, a panel of historians or Jewish people, or a panel to investigate Nazi history (?) (Sorry, I can't recall what the purpose of that panel is).
And protections for civil servants should be no excuse.
Really, everything Trump is doing now is simply inexcusable and self-evidently "in bad faith."
