The U.S. Justice Department unit charged with defending against legal challenges to signature Trump administration policies - such as restricting birthright citizenship and slashing funding to Harvard University - has lost nearly two-thirds of its staff, according to a list seen by Reuters.
69 of the roughly 110 lawyers in the Federal Programs Branch have voluntarily left the unit since Donald Trump's election in November or have announced plans to leave, according to the list compiled by former Justice Department lawyers and reviewed by Reuters.
I'm sure they're happy to get their own loyalists in there, but at least a legal team full of incompetent dipshits is good for the rest of us.
Not when Congress and SCOTUS are also full of dipshits. It's like a perfect shit storm that may drown all of us.
A shit blizzard, Randy.
Dipstorm.
It won't change anything in the courts they already own, but it will slow things down in the ones they don't.
