Democratic lawmakers in Maryland on Wednesday gave the state’s attorney general, also a Democrat, the power to sue President Donald Trump without the approval of Republican Gov. Larry Hogan.
The state House of Delegates passed that measure on Wednesday, after the state Senate had passed the bill on Friday, according to the Washington Post. The resolution does not need Hogan’s approval to go into effect, according to the newspaper.
The Baltimore Sun reported that the measure would let state Attorney General Brian Frosh sue the Trump administration over issues that could hurt Maryland residents’ health care, immigration rights, civil liberties and other issues.
Frosh had asked Hogan for approval to file a lawsuit challenging Trump’s executive order temporarily suspending the refugee program and barring travel from seven predominantly Muslim countries, but Hogan never responded to that request, according to the Baltimore Sun.
I love this…the Dems went all North Carolina on the Guv…it takes us awhile but we do learn!!!
The National Weather Service has just issued a severe shit-storm warning for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Small govt means staying quiet.
Excellent. Dems can use brass knuckles when they want to. I don’t know about the political situation in MD but I’m hoping we can get a Dem back in the gov’s. office again.
This is not the same. They asked the Gov who didnt even respond. He could have said, FU but this is inaction.
