Trump’s bullying of D.C. law firms is cutting off the litigation lifeline for nonprofit public-interest groups to challenge his policies — which is exactly why he’s doing it. Some thoughts...

Why can’t the Dems do fundraising for these firms and create a defense fund for plaintiffs.
I’m sure there’s some legal way to do this.
When Qualcomm was first getting started, they put just about every law firm within a hundred miles of San Diego 'on retainer' -- so if anyone wanted to sue for patent infringement, they could not use local resources ( 'conflict of interest' ).
When Hungary went down the drain after 2010, one of the GECI's move was that he limited access to education in law and economic unis.
Why?
Because HE is a lawyer and he cannot allow the next gen to challenge him and call out his economic BS.
April 5 protests in every state, find the one near you, take photos and Google. How do I send photos to ABC or NBC or CBS? Help the media get a full and accurate picture.

In effect, Trump has converted damages for a completely spurious tort into a personal slush fund he can use for any purpose he likes.
That is directly counter to the intent of the constitution.

I see that I was wrong in my opinion!
So many of those belonging to the 'big law firms' are allowing themselves to be dragged down by their bosses who only care about their money!
But they capitulate to Trump & sell out their country because they wanna keep their status. Cowards.
Welcome, all you moronic US voters, to the Fourth Reich.
Now, those of us with even a trace of intelligence will be joining you assholes in the pending concentration camps.
I'm not saying it's a sure thing, but for me, I'd find $50 to help a law firm that stands on business & won't back down from bullies.
- If 107,000 other people did the same, that's +$5m.
- 1% of the US pop is approx 3.3m people.
- $50 is less than an annual subscription to Amazon Prime.
RETRIBUTION
The Ds will return to power and, this time, no more "let's all get along". This time the price of Trump acquiescence will be "BIG TIME HUGE UNFORGETABLE" for these Trump acolytes.
