Adam Schiff says shoring up democracy will require courage and “an all-the-above strategy” Schiff: “There is no appeasing someone like Donald Trump or the enablers around him. We all have to push back. The best antidote to fear is to be courageous. I was proud to see Harvard decide they were going to fight this administration.

Litigation has been one of the most effective strategies, and the lower courts in particular have stood strong. We need to continue using litigation, and as members of Congress , we can support that litigation with amicus briefs.

If hooded figures can grab people off the street and deport them, we bear little resemblance to the America that we’ve known for the last 250 years .

We're going to get through this, and we will get through it as a democracy, he says.
