So far, all three law firms that fought back against Trump's executive orders targeting them won, before three different judges.
And two firms preemptively folded.

They decided to fold instead of fight. Had they fought, they would have won
I also believe that, so why fold if they have nothing to hide?
They somehow think that kissing the ring will be profitable

Something that fighting the EO in court couldn't stop like an aggressive IRS audit or sensitive data leak.

This is technically a mixed victory because WilmerHale asked for relief neither of the other firms sought -- over the security clearances, where Trump had broad power.
But otherwise, this is three for three for the firms that sued.
