    If republicans can do it as the minority. There’s no reason democrats can’t. McConnell was great at it. Just copy his playbook.

      McConnell uses the filibuster, which the Senate could use to stop bills if any of these were bills passed in Congress. Unfortunately the only power they have against Trump’s executive orders is forcing a 15-day vote, which they’ve repeatedly done, while helping the ACLU bring these cases to the courts.
