You know when that one neighbor calls the cops on every little thing you do in your own yard? That’s basically what Nevada’s Attorney General Aaron Ford has been doing to the Trump administration all year long. This guy has filed lawsuit after lawsuit, trying to block popular conservative policies that Americans actually voted for.
Let me walk you through this legal assault on common-sense governance. It’s like watching someone throw tantrum after tantrum in court because they didn’t get their way at the ballot box.
The Obstruction Playbook: Eight Months of Liberal Lawsuits
Case #1: Fighting American Citizenship Standards (January 21) Right after Trump took office, Ford jumped in with 18 other liberal states to block an executive order on birthright citizenship. Trump was trying to fix a system where anyone born here automatically becomes a citizen, even if their parents broke the law to get here. But Ford and his friends got a judge to block it. So much for enforcing our immigration laws.
Case #2: Protecting Big Government Spending (January 28) When Trump tried to pause wasteful federal spending to review where our tax dollars were going, Ford led 22 states in a panic attack. They sued within a week, claiming the president couldn’t even look at how Congress was throwing around trillions of dollars. They got their precious government spending restored by the end of January.
Case #3: Defending University Waste (February 10) Universities have been getting fat off taxpayer-funded research grants, taking huge chunks for “overhead.” When Trump tried to cap this at a reasonable 15%, Ford and 21 states rushed to court. Within hours, they blocked any attempt to stop this academic gravy train.
Case #4: Protecting the Deep State (March 6) Trump tried to clean house by removing probationary federal workers who weren’t doing their jobs. Ford and 19 states sued to protect these bureaucrats. A liberal judge ordered thousands of them reinstated. So much for draining the swamp.
Case #5: Saving the Education Bureaucracy (March 13) When Trump moved to shrink the bloated Department of Education, Ford joined 21 states to stop him. They claimed the president couldn’t reduce the size of a government agency that has failed our kids for decades. They got an injunction to keep all those federal education bureaucrats employed.
Case #6: Blocking Health Spending Reforms (March 25) HHS Secretary RFK Jr. tried to end $11 billion in questionable public health grants left over from COVID. Ford led 23 states in demanding these programs continue forever. They got the grants restored, ensuring more government dependency.
Case #7: Protecting Woke Research (April 4) The administration started reviewing research grants that pushed diversity and LGBTQ agendas instead of real science. Ford joined 15 states to force taxpayers to keep funding this political research. The case is still pending, but they’re fighting hard to keep woke studies alive.
Case #8: Defending Rigged Elections (May 12) When Trump issued common-sense election reforms requiring proof of citizenship and stopping late ballot counting, Ford led 19 states in blocking it. They claim states should be free to run sloppy elections with no verification. The reforms are on hold while they fight in court.
Case #9: Saving Liberal Activism Programs (July 24) Ford is leading 23 states to restore funding for AmeriCorps, those feel-good volunteer programs that mostly benefit liberal causes. Even after losing in court, he’s still fighting to keep taxpayer money flowing to these activist organizations.
Case #10: Protecting Sanctuary Policies with Crime Victim Funds (August 18) Just this week, Ford joined 19 other liberal states to block the Justice Department from requiring cooperation with immigration enforcement as a condition for crime victim funding.
Trump wants states to help ICE arrest criminal illegal immigrants, but Ford thinks protecting sanctuary policies is more important than public safety. He’s using crime victims as political shields.
Why This Assault on Conservative Values Matters
This isn’t just about Nevada. Ford represents everything wrong with liberal state attorneys general who think their job is to obstruct any conservative president.
Look at the pattern here. Every time Trump tries to:
- Enforce immigration laws
- Cut wasteful spending
- Reduce government bureaucracy
- Reform rigged election systems
- Stop woke programming
Ford runs to court with a bunch of other liberal states to block it.
These aren’t constitutional principles at stake. This is pure partisan obstruction designed to prevent the conservative agenda that 74 million Americans voted for.
The Real Constitutional Crisis
The founders never intended for state attorneys general to have veto power over federal policy through endless lawsuits. They’re supposed to represent their states’ interests, not wage partisan warfare against popular presidents.
When liberal judges keep issuing nationwide injunctions based on complaints from a handful of blue states, that’s not checks and balances. That’s minority rule through judicial activism.
What’s Coming Next
Ford isn’t done. He’ll keep filing lawsuits against every Trump policy that threatens big government or liberal priorities. More obstruction is guaranteed.
The question is whether conservative states will start fighting back with their own legal strategies, or just let liberal attorneys general run the show from courtrooms.
Most importantly, remember that Ford and his allies aren’t defending the Constitution. They’re using it as a weapon against the conservative movement. The sooner we recognize this coordinated legal assault, the better we can fight back.
The American people voted for change. Liberal attorneys general like Ford are doing everything possible to prevent that change from happening. That’s not principled opposition: it’s political sabotage.
