I love winning. Democrat challenge to Trump suffers major blow.
Another court case and another win. U.S. District Judge Amir Ali dismissed a lawsuit from the Democratic National Committee targeting a number of Trump’s many executive orders Tuesday.
Specifically, this DNC lawsuit claimed that some of Trump’s executive orders would erode the Federal Election Commission’s independence. The FEC had pledged to remain independent, had received no directive from the White House to change its practices and vowed to abide by the law. Without evidence undermining those promises, Ali said he was compelled to dismiss the suit.
Given those assurances, Ali said, the Democratic committees needed to “point to a concrete basis for [the] conclusion” that the FEC’s independence had been undermined or facing a looming threat of such interference.
“They have not done so here,” he concluded.
