I reject the appeal to apathy, it's what enables the opposition to just do nothing and act like they don't need to even try and get creative. If Republican judges and politicians can just do whatever and there's no consequences, I want to see more Democrat politicians do the same. Mind you this is what the donors paid (both sides) for.
I don't want to appeal to apathy either. If you read another comment I made in the same thread, I want city and state attorney generals and courts to stop the administration's recklessness, more proactively.
But to try Trump as a normal citizen within the bounds of the court system - as much I would like that to happen myself - that specific avenue you mention is tougher than others for the reason I outlined.
