Do Democrats ever go to court to get conservative legislation struck down?

[In It to Win It]

If so, I don’t hear about it.

Conservative activists have this “solution in search of a problem” approach when it comes to taking legal action to strike down legislation favored by Democrats.

Does that exist for Democrats?

1. Ever Hear of the American Civil Liberties Union or NAACP?

7. ...but the ACLU will do it for either side

2. All the time and they are often successfull.

NAACP, CREW, ACLU for example.

6. I read that Crew right now is going after the gsa

[Massacure]

3. Yes. I don't think I have enough fingers to count the amount of abortion restrictions struck down

[In It to Win It]

4. Yea, you're right. Forgot about the abortion restrictions

5. Democrats just do it for real, plausible legal and constitutional reasons...

...instead of just throwing frivolous, batshit crazy stuff against the wall, hoping to find sympathetic right-wing judges to ignore their fallacious arguments and give them what they want regardless.

8. We do it all the time. Constantly now that today's intensely corrupt GOP

constantly breaking the law. And I DO mean the Democratic PARTY, not just Democrats acting through private organizations.

If you're not hearing reports of it, maybe try reading the news. A lot of what they say on TV 24/7 goes right past me because I'm not really listening.

11. For the most part, I read my news. I don't watch cable news unless it's election coverage

...but I read about conservative activism all the time in the courts.

Usually the biggest cases get reported on, and even in conservative news it’s usually because of conservative causes they are trying to advance.

9. Consider the "Muslim Travel Ban"

Struck down in courts in several variations.

[gratuitous]

10. Yes

Usually for solid, constitutionally-valid reasons, not to accomplish through the courts what they can't achieve through legislation because their position doesn't enjoy majority support.
