Our Constitution itself is at stake in this fight.

And I want to repeat, the Constitution is the law of the land.

The Constitution is not a suggestion.

Hi again, everybody. It's 5 o'clock in New York. One more time. Constitution is not a suggestion.

Hi again, everybody. It's 5 o'clock in New York. One more time for the folks in the back.

The Constitution is not a suggestion. That was Fulton County Chairman Rob Pitts earlier today,

framing the essential fight ahead, not just for the people there in Georgia, but for all of us, all Americans, full stop.

The context for those comments, new legal action filed this morning under seal in federal court in Atlanta, Georgia, by Fulton County officials.

More specifically, it's a court challenge to the Trump administration's highly dubious seizure of election records,

records related to the 2020 election.

Pitts there insists that he and his team will use every resource to rest control of the seized election material back from the federal government.

It's a sentiment that persisted in the confines of today's Fulton County Commissioners' meeting.

Watch.

Our responsibility is clear to ensure every vote counts regardless of who the voter supports.

And despite criticism, scrutiny of our work or complex legislation, we will remain focused on serving our voters.

And we will not allow a small group of individuals promoting unfounded claims to speak for the more than 700,000 voters

that depend on us to administer fair, accurate, and secure elections.

Perhaps the only thing more disturbing than what's happening here is the distinct possibility that for Donald Trump, he's just getting started. Remember, Trump's baseless and evidence-free claim of widespread fraud in 2020 that caused him to lose extended well beyond Georgia. It actually resulted in lots of criminal charges for lots of people, fake electors from coast to coast.

That means the FBI and the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, for some reason, could soon be raiding an elections office near you.

Yesterday, given the opportunity to clarify comments that he'd made on nationalizing our elections,

comments his White House appeared to actively try to walk back almost immediately.

Donald Trump made himself clear. Watch.
