Massachusetts (lesbian) Attorney General Maura Healey is suing President Trump over his controversial executive order on immigration that she said strikes at the state's “lifeblood” in barring workers and students vital to its universities, medical centers and technology firms.
“Because of our people we have truly become a global state and a global leader,” Healey said. “That’s just one reason why this executive order is such a threat — because it threatens the vitality, the livelihood, the lifeblood, that drives so much of Massachusetts.”
Healey's message to Trump: “No one is above the law.”
“Our job in government and here in the attorney general’s office is to make sure that we uphold the rule of law, that we uphold the tenets and the principle set forth in our state constitution and our United States Constitution,” Healey said. “The executive order is unconstitutional and must be struck down, and we need to be prepared at all turns to take action as an office when and if someone acts in ways that are unlawful or unconstitutional.
“Whether it the president of the United States or a federal agency … we will be prepared to take action,” Healey said.
Flanked by business leaders, education officials and directors from advocacy groups, the Democratic attorney general blasted Trump’s immigration order as “harmful, discriminatory and unconstitutional,” and announced that she’d join a federal lawsuit filed in Boston on Saturday against the measure.

The headline seems to indicate that she’s already in the process of suing. Then at the end, she said something about “being prepared” to take action.
So, which is it?
How about these media doofs not publish fake headlines. When someone files actual court proceedings against Trump for something, then they can tell us.
So how long have they been breaking the law in MASS?
Seems legit. LOL!
Exactly. How long have they been harboring illegals?
BS. The richest, most powerful country in the world depends on these seven Third World countries to function?
Ridiculous.
Just a couple of years ago Liberals successfully sued Jan Brewer with the claim that immigration policy is 100% and soley the province of the Federal Government.
So, which is it, Libs?
another hysterical liberal who needs to blow deeply into a brown paper bag and then inhale
all this over a 120 day visa ban?
for 7 countries on the terror list?
Really?
Just another Liberal pi$$ing into the wind! From this flurry of activity, we must be right over the target.
Yeah but they were only found in the best neighborhoods.
Didn’t this go into effect during King Barrack’s reign? How did MA manage to get through a six month ban when now they are wailing about a three month ban? We are sick to death of Democrat liars.
That will come back to bite them.
I bet that makes the rest of the state taxpayers feel important.
Grandstanding shanty-Irish Beeoytch.

That quote from Healey doesn't even come close to passing the laugh test.
Healey is the wanna-be tyrant who suddenly "interpreted" Mass. gun laws to outlaw many types of firearms that the law itself does not outlaw.
Why oh why did they ever get rid of the use of 'stocks' and rotten tomatoes for filthy politicians who attempt to take the law into their own hands?
such a lawsuit is purely for political posturing
it has ZERO legal merit and will be thrown out of any court that SorozNazi/DNC/Obama don’t control
(uh oh!)
well, it will eventually have to get thrown out anyways
