N.Y. Attorney General Letitia James developing 'long' list of Trump actions for Biden to undo

Source: NBC News

The Democratic official also told NBC News she is reviewing legal options in case the president contests the election results.

New York Attorney General Letitia James says her office is preparing a substantial list of legal actions for a potential Biden administration to begin quickly reversing Trump administration initiatives, she told NBC News in an interview.

"We're preparing a list. And the list is long," she said Thursday. "We'll have a team of individuals, again, working on reversing all of the bad regulations and laws that have been put forth ... We will work with the Biden administration to ask them to file stays in a number of cases that are pending in the courts all across this country."

James, a leading Democratic state attorney general, said she and her colleagues are also reviewing "legal options to determine what action, if any" state attorneys general will take should the election results be contested.

"LEST WE FORGET THE HORRORS: A CATALOG OF TRUMP’S WORST CRUELTIES, COLLUSIONS, CORRUPTIONS, AND CRIMES"
"Early in President Trump’s term, McSweeney’s editors began to catalog the head-spinning number of misdeeds coming from his administration. We called this list a collection of Trump’s cruelties, collusions, and crimes, and it felt urgent then to track them, to ensure these horrors — happening almost daily — would not be forgotten. This election year, amid a harrowing global health, civil rights, humanitarian, and economic crisis, we know it’s never been more critical to note these horrors, to remember them, and to do all in our power to reverse them. This list will be updated between now and the November 2020 Presidential election."

- - -
"Various writers have compiled this list during the course of the Trump administration. Their work has been guided by invaluable journalistic resources, including WTFJHT, NPR, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and other sources, to whom we are grateful."

LEST WE FORGET THE HORRORS
A catalog of Trump’s worst cruelties, collusions, corruptions, and crimes.

and just identifying and keeping track of it all is a full-time job for a small army of lawyers and other professionals . . . good on Letitia James for taking the initiative . . . I imagine that Biden has others working on similar lists and recommendations so they'll be ready to go come January 20 . . ..

Took them right off the endangered species list because he can.

There's so much he's done that we never even hear about because he creates so many absurd distractions. It'll take Biden his first four fixing what Trump did.
