The American Bar Association, the largest national group representing lawyers, sued in federal court to permanently stop President Donald Trump’s extortion of law firms on Monday.
…
Trump’s extortion of law firms via executive order “is unlawful,” the ABA lawsuit states. “Our Constitution does not vest the Executive Branch with the power to point to individual lawyers or law firms, declare by executive fiat that their work or their internal policies are ‘against the national interest’ or otherwise illegal or improper, and direct (or threaten) executive action against that lawyer or law firm.”
The court system is all that is holding King Taco from taking complete control.
I don’t know how cases are prioritized. Does the growing number of lawsuits against the administration slow down pending cases?
more feckless performative bullshit as usual

>Soon after taking office for his second term, Trump issued a series of executive orders targeting seven law firms with punitive sanctions for political reasons. The orders acted as an opening salvo in an attack on Big Law to pressure law firms into “deals” with the administration that would restrain them from challenging Trump’s policies.
>After Trump hit the venerable New York firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison with an executive order on March 14 banning its lawyers from contact with the federal government and access to federal buildings, and stripping its lawyers of security clearances, which would have effectively ended its ability to work, the firm’s partners [agreed to an informal deal](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-paul-weiss_n_67dd9330e4b0ae8ea296ec2e) to make the order go away. The firm pledged $40 million in pro bono services to the administration and to end Diversity, Equity and Inclusion practices. It also [removed nearly all mention](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-paul-weiss-law-firm_n_67e57aabe4b0419750bbc102) of its pro bono work challenging the immigration policies of the first Trump administration from its web site.
Why the shit does one guy have the power to do all this by himself? Because he just decided to? Why can the President just decide „your entire companies are now screwed, bye bye!“
We are in fascism’s legal phase
I am genuinely curious as to why people keep sueing this guy. He is immune. Literally.
Morons don’t realize what makes America great is it’s rule of Law. It’s why brilliant people open up their businesses here, it’s why foreigners invest their assets here, it’s why alien young geniuses study and stay here.
Wait, wouldn’t all judges need to recuse themselves from this case as they are *all* members of the bar?
Ohh that’s spicy I’m in
