Democrat Attorney General Maura Healey ought to go back to suing Donald Trump.

She had more luck back when Trump was president than she does now. Not that she would begin to sue hapless Joe Biden, a fellow Democrat, whom she supports. That is verboten.

Healey, a party to three major suits before the Trump-dominated U.S. Supreme Court, lost out on all three when the court ruled on abortion, the New York concealed-carry gun law and the school prayer issue.

She was lucky not to be a party to the suit in which the New York Supreme Court struck down a law that would have allowed non-citizens to vote in local elections that was approved by the New York City Council. She would have lost that one too.

As it was, though, Healey did her best to advance the rights of illegal immigrants by slow-walking approval of a ballot question granting illegal immigrants drivers licenses.

Healey, the Democrat candidate for governor, is in favor of the drivers license proposal which many conservatives believe is a step toward granting non-citizens access to the voting booth.

Republican Gov. Charlie Baker vetoed the measure, but it became law after the Democrat-controlled Legislature overrode his veto.

Republicans, led by party chairman Jim Lyons, sought to get the issue on the 2022 ballot, a referendum question the wording of which had to be approved by Healey.

Lyons is supported by both Republican candidates for governor, Geoff Diehl, who was endorsed by the Republican convention, and Wrentham businessman Chris Doughty.

After accusations that she was delaying approval in order to hinder the GOP from gathering the 40,000 signatures needed to get on the ballot, Healey finally cleared the issue last week. The GOP must gather and file the signatures by the Aug. 24 deadline.

Healeys delaying tactics came as no surprise to anyone who has covered Massachusetts politics for any length of time.

I have covered and/or known 11 attorneys general, Republican and Democrat and even worked for one and have found that Healey is the most one-sided and politically partisan of them all.

She filed more than 50lawsuits against Republican Trump and endorsed even more that were filed by fellow Democrat attorneys general. They ranged from the environment to Trumps border policy.

While they did not go anywhere, she was praised by the woke left-wing media for taking on Trump.

She has not filed a single legal action against Biden or the Biden administration, and this includes Bidens humanitarian horror show down at the Mexican border.

As a matter of fact, she openly criticized a group of fellow attorneys general Republicans, of course for having the audacity to file suit against Biden over his disastrous open border policy that is flooding the country with illegal immigrant criminals and deadly fentanyl.

No sooner did the Republican attorneys general file their suit challenging Bidens chaotic immigration policy than Healey accused them of seeking to block Bidens rollback of Trumps cruel immigration policy.

She said, For four years, Republican AGs were complicit in Donald Trumps lies, hatred and attacks on our rule of law. Now they are launching baseless, politically motivated attacks on President Biden.

It does not seem to matter that immigration lawsuit filed by the Republican attorneys general against Biden is similar to the suit filed by Healey and the Democrats against Trump.

The difference is that Trump, whatever you think of him, had a border policy that worked. Biden has a policy that is killing people and destroying the country. And Healey still supports it.

Hence, no lawsuits, nor even any remarks about the latest group of 53 illegal immigrants who suffered a ghastly death locked in the trailer truck.

They were probably Republicans.
