he is the federal government, with its vast financial resources (ours, actually). He can spend as much of the government's money (our money) as he wants defending his bullshit immigration EO. The money needed to sue Trump (the federal government) has to come from, in this case, the States of Washington and Minnesota, the ACLU, etc., which don't have as much money as the federal government. So nothing really has changed, except that Trump now has even more money to throw around.
