The Lawsuit Engine- Part VI
Amercias first Legal.
Miller launched America First Legal (AFL) in 2021 to continue advancing his ideological vision—not through policymaking, but through litigation. Where executive orders once carried his agenda forward, now it’s lawsuits. AFL was explicitly modeled as a right-wing answer to the American Civil Liberties Union, but with a sharply partisan, nationalistic bent. It became the legal arm of Trumpism, challenging everything from civil rights protections to climate regulations.
The group’s primary targets included:
🔵 Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs at universities and federal agencies.
🔵 Environmental policies and ESG standards seen as burdensome to business.
🔵 LGBTQ+ protections in education, healthcare, and the military.
🔵 Federal efforts to track and respond to white supremacist extremism.
" Are you seeing the correlations in the current Administration?"
🔵 AFL has filed lawsuits against institutions like the Department of Education, the Department of Defense, and even the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In several cases, their suits have cited “reverse discrimination” or “anti-white bias” as grounds for dismantling racial justice initiatives.
Legal experts note that many of these cases are intentionally filed in jurisdictions with Trump-appointed judges, increasing the likelihood of favorable rulings that can then be appealed to a Supreme Court now dominated by conservatives.
"AFL produced many legal briefs/press statements challenging federal authority or DEI."
🔵 Miller has also used AFL to go after the Biden administration’s COVID-19 response, its use of executive orders on student debt relief, and even court rulings that limited Trump-era policies. In one particularly revealing move, AFL filed a legal brief that effectively challenged the legitimacy of a Supreme Court decision that curtailed a major Trump immigration rule, suggesting that Miller is willing to attack even conservative justices if they impede his long-term vision.
🔵 AFL also collaborates with a constellation of far-right legal outfits and nonprofits, including some funded by dark money networks linked to Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society. This web of influence allows Miller to operate well beyond the reach of electoral accountability—moving legal cases through courts faster than legislation can be debated.
