Is there no way to sue the government [View all]

for purging civil servants across agencies, and specifically for punishing FBI agents for following legal orders? Trump is dismantling law enforcement, destroying careers, removing safety for the American people and there's no lawsuit? No judge to put a pause on it?

Is ending democracy not a sueable offence?

The media complains (not enough, but there's Rachel, etc.) but only until they too are dismantled.
What are we waiting for? Unconsitutional acts are illegal. Will we put up with it until there isn't even a press to report it? Do we think when the agencies are taken over and media silenced that the social security checks will keep coming? That our taxes will be used for anything except Elon's exploits?

I try to imagine that most of us will keep doing what we do, but that is seeming less and less likely. And putting it back together seems more and more impossible. How about lawsuits about everything he is doing NOW?

Please tell me why that can't happen, or isn't happening. Or how it could.
