41 lawsuits against Trump -- and counting. WASHINGTON ATT. GEN. BOB FERGUSON.

David,

Democratic attorneys general are our country’s last line of defense against the Trump administration’s discriminatory and unconstitutional policies. I’ve gone to bat to protect the people of our state each time the president threatens their safety or constitutional rights.

As...attorney general, I’ve filed 41 lawsuits against the Trump administration. What that really means is that you, the people of Washington state, have filed 41 lawsuits against the Trump administration. We will continue to fight this administration’s harmful policies that impact Washingtonians.

Just last week, we were in court defending the Affordable Care Act against a legal challenge that was filed by a group of Republican attorneys general. The Trump administration has not only refused to defend the Affordable Care Act but has also argued that the court should throw out the entire health care system with no replacement. Millions would lose their health care coverage, including many Washingtonians and countless Americans with pre-existing conditions.

I’ve been proud to stand up for Washington, defending our state against this administration and special interests that don’t play by the rules. I’ll continue arguing...all the way to the Supreme Court if it comes to that. We’ve beaten the president there before, and I know we can do it again.

Because it’s not the loudest voice that prevails in the courtroom, it’s the Constitution. So far, we’re undefeated against the Trump administration: 21-0. 12 of these victories are final, and cannot be appealed. This means we’ve permanently blocked 12 of President Trump’s unlawful policies that hurt Washingtonians.

Thank you so much,
Bob
