With more than 300 lawsuits against President Donald Trump, Democratic Attorneys General, federal employee unions, and liberal advocacy groups say they’re digging in for a long fight.

This includes New Jersey’s Attorney General Matthew Platkin. “If they think we’re going to get tired and stop, that’s not gonna happen,” Platkin told Bloomberg.

Platkin’s office has sued the Trump administration several times including for his attempt to defund off shore wind farming, educational funding threats, and cuts to health and human services.

President Trump’s expansive use of executive power has resulted in at least 328 lawsuits by May 1. According to the outlet, many judges are halting his policies more often than they allowed them.

“The courts entered more than 200 orders stopping the administration’s actions in 128 cases,” Bloomberg said. “With judges sometimes ruling at multiple stages of the legal fights.”
