Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser has threatened legal action over President Donald Trump's decision to move the U.S. Space Command headquarters to Huntsville.
Following Trump's announcement Tuesday, Weiser issued a statement saying he was prepared to challenge the move in court.
"The Trump administration should not play political games with our nation's military readiness and military families. Moving Space Command Headquarters to Alabama is not only wrong for our national defense, but it's harmful to hundreds of Space Command personnel and their families," he stated. "...The Colorado Attorney General's Office has been preparing in the event the president made such an unlawful decision to move Space Command HQ. If the Trump administration takes this step – I'm prepared to challenge it in court."
Both Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall and his chief counsel, Katherine Robertson, were unimpressed with Weiser's legal challenge.
"Guess we'll have to settle this in court. Spoiler: we're not sweating it," Marshall said on X. "Let's agree in advance that you owe us attorneys' fees when we win?"
Robertson said on X, "LOL. We'll see you there."
