Our tax dollars pay for his waste of time/retributions. We need to sue him for the $$$ and hours spent on his pettiness owing to his super thin skin.

The facts in all these cases are different enough that certification as a class wouldn't be possible.

I would say the next ten years of Democratic administrations will have their work cut out for them in legal hot patches to tamper-proof the DoJ as well as the rest of our government from those who wish to destroy or otherwise impair it's ability to function.
