    Say Trump announces that you’re not a citizen, that gay marriage doesn’t exist, that all women must give birth annually, whatever. If you’re victimized by it, and have the money or can find a freebie lawyer, maybe you sue the federal government, and maybe you win. But even if you win, you only win for you. The millions of others in exactly your same situation each need to file their own lawsuits, and hope to win. (Unless it’s a class action lawsuit, which involves separate and very, very difficult legal hurdles.)

    If I’m understanding this wrong, and cripes I hope I am, please 'splain it to me.
