    Yes, we are. There are plenty of lawyers and resources to fight this admin on all fronts. Any attempt to put him in check is not a loss on another.

    You can be more personally concerned about the people being thrown in gulags and blown up on fishing boats - rightfully so - but it doesn’t stand to reason that this fight is not worthy of pursuit. Lawyers who specialize in zoning laws, permit violations, and historical building renovation processes surely shouldn’t have their efforts dismissed.
