Judges Slam Trump’s Executive Orders: When Political Vendettas Meet Unconstitutional Comedy!
Trump’s executive orders against law firms are being struck down as unconstitutional, with judges highlighting their pernicious nature. The EFF stands firm, filing amicus briefs supporting targeted firms. These orders, seen as a shocking abuse of power, aim to punish lawyers for representing clients in cases Trump dislikes. The courts aren’t having it.
Hot Take:
**_In a truly staggering display of “I didn’t get my way,” President Trump seems to have decided that if he can’t beat the lawyers fair and square, he’ll just issue an executive order to play dirty. But the judiciary isn’t having any of it, and they’re throwing shade like confetti at a New Year’s Eve party. Trump’s attempt to muzzle law firms he doesn’t like is being shot down by judges faster than you can say “objection, your honor!”_**
