I want to join the Judge Bates fan club, where do I sign up?

Me, too. I know who I am utilizing when I need legal assistance against the Trump Administration or “The Orange Buffoon” - Perkins Coie a few hundred miles up the road in Seattle, Washington. Our regional bank used them and won a great lawsuit against another Corporate raider.

"next"? I'd say the Trump admin has been going after "the courtroom" since long before Trump left the office in 2021.

Turns out that all the judges are also lawyers, who knew?

I love the part of the WilmerHale hearing when Judge Leon asks the DOJ lawyer, incredulously, "Have you practiced law? Have you had clients?"

Don't refer to the "DOJ lawyer:" refer to "[name], the DOJ lawyer." These lawyers deserve to have the same opprobrium heaped on them for defending Trump as the white shoe firms who bend the knee to Trump.

Donnie The Dumbf**k is 0 for 3 with his lawsuits against law firms (Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, etc.) His Justice Dept. Mouthpieces must have missed something important in law school. Obviously not the brightest tools in the toolkit especially against WA.State Premier firm Perkins Coie in Seattle, WA.

Thank you to judges, lawyers (well, most of them), and
legal reporters for rising to the occasion that is enveloping our country, brought by the Trump administration’s fierce and relentless attack on justice in America. I’m sure you’re not sleeping much these past weeks.

Citing Trump's attack on Jenner's pro bono work for transgender people and immigrants, Judge Bates notes: "Our legal system relies on lawyers who advocate zealously for all clients."

Jenner still looks like a man ! He, as part of the GOP, does he use women's bathrooms?

This, here? You’re just as much our enemy as Trump.

The fear the male component has of transgender people speaks to the fear of their own insecurity of their own sexuality.

flossallan.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don’t know any transgender people, but who has the right to say they are not equal humans. I don’t know any Moldovans, Maltese, Lithuanians or countless other people but they are still people like me.

Let's hope this is enough to get Trump's compliance to hold.

Here's the judge's written TRO blocking the targeting of Jenner https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.278932/gov.uscourts.dcd.278932.9.0_1.pdf

Thank you for the info. Great news

Thank you. It is helpful to read these direct sources.

Major firms, the AMA and retired attorney’s need to pool resources and create a fire wall to prevent the erosion of our legal right of due process. SCOTUS may have set the demise of the courts on a course that cannot be reversed, with their immunity decision.

In some cases, they are issuing TRO‘s but at the same time, the villains are getting away with the loot.

This is why average Americans, non-lawyers like me, especially scientist and people grounded in ethics and morality, believe that our country is broken or legal system a sham
