“James E. Tierney, a former attorney general of Maine who works extensively with current state attorneys general, said most Democrats were approaching Mr. Trump’s new order cautiously.
Mr. Tierney, a Democrat, said state lawyers were “researching the constitutionality” of the order before settling on a public course of action.
“They believe strongly that just because they don’t like something, doesn’t mean it is unconstitutional,” Mr. Tierney said.”
