“While we don’t yet know the harmful proposals the next administration will put forward, thanks to Donald Trump’s campaign, Cabinet appointments and Twitter feed, we do have an idea of what we will be dealing with,”

“The Covington team will be an important resource as we work with the governor and the attorney general to protect Californians.”

“we expect that there will be extraordinary challenges for California in the uncertain times ahead.”

“This is a critical moment in the history of our nation,”

These are the words of California Senate Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon who along with President pro Tempore Kevin de Leon are gearing up for a hard battle!

In a statement they said:

“We have an obligation to defend the people who elected us and the policies and diversity that make California an example of what truly makes our nation great.”

So, they have hired Obama Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. as outside counsel to help head the battle. He will be leading a team from Covington & Burling law firm, his current employee.

California are imagining there will be many battles with the Trump administration on issues such as Sanctuary cities, maybe marijuana laws and who knows what else!
