Now we're talking.

Imagine getting your ass kicked multiple times by a law firm and thinking the best course of action was to get your ass kicked again 😂

halfpint.bsky.social•29 days ago

Yes STAND UP

nvry.bsky.social•29 days ago

It takes a lot of practice to have a smile that phony.

christinabean.bsky.social•29 days ago

Give 'em hell Perkins Coie. I always knew the Seattle-founded firm had grit. Cheering on some of the brightest lawyers in our country.

When a bully throws a punch, you hit back twice as hard!

oldwitewoman.bsky.social•29 days ago

Good. Fight back. Don't allow trump to bully you.

Biggest law form in the nation.. right ?? 😂what a dumb ass

Trump knows he can commit crime with impunity. The only recourse is to sue his ass, which takes time and money to implement. while the direct impacts from his crime can be felt immediately. There should be punitive damages against trump for his white collar crime!

fl-guy.bsky.social•29 days ago

I'm pretty sure that level of impunity does not apply to the VP and Trump's minions. They need to be hauled into court when they are caught breaking the law.

Should give a big shout out to the great litigators at Williams & Connolly for agreeing to take this case. I’ve seen the lead attorney in action at trial and he is awesome. Hope he cleans Trump’s clock.

rjinill-annoy.bsky.social•29 days ago

GOOD. Fuck 34.

pillsbury37.bsky.social•29 days ago

considering Trumps record in court he should really try to avoid it. especially when few lawyers are willing to represent him

becca4democracy.bsky.social•28 days ago

I hope they win as it sets the precedent that says Trump is not immune from all actions he makes as President. Such as his frequently quoted false claims against people. It’s only a matter of time before these individuals form a class action suit for liable and slander.

ghostman1776.bsky.social•29 days ago

Good luck to them. He'll delay delay delay and they will spend all of their money trying to fight this. You'd think a law firm would have more sense than this.

paul-newengland.bsky.social•29 days ago

Impeachment is clearly in order. Today.

It's so true that this administration is antithetical to our Constitutional order!

V.P. Vance - FORGET THE LAW

Vance said, reference a Supreme Court ruling, "The chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it."

Trump/Vance plan on doing anything they want, illegal or not.

Everything this Administration is doing "is an affront to the Constitution and our adversarial system of justice."

klsadler.bsky.social•29 days ago

Impeach Trump now!

fl-guy.bsky.social•29 days ago

The supreme Court may have ruled in favor of presidential immunity but it didn't grant any immunity to the rest of the executive branch. The judges can haul the VP and his minions into court when they violate the court orders.

rbsnst.bsky.social•29 days ago

We need for law firms suing Trump

susan-ny.bsky.social•29 days ago

Hope they win and then sue.

doncomer.bsky.social•29 days ago

No surprise here. This orange convicted felon, & seditionist, is breaking the law again? Trump acts demented & thinks that he is Putin. No "checks & balances" apparent. Congress? Court? Did they all die?

itsberyl.bsky.social•29 days ago

stand strong, fight hard

tlp711.bsky.social•29 days ago

When will the world wake up to the fact that the “rule of law” does not apply to Trump?

imyourmerlin.bsky.social•29 days ago

I was gonna say, if this law firm folded and ran, that was direct a sign the rest of should’ve already snuck out of the country in someone’s suitcase, holy fuck.

kaykenney.bsky.social•29 days ago

Dirty diaper dictator Donnie and his cheesy sleazy smile and thumbs up. He looks embalmed.

davidicouldbewrong.bsky.social•29 days ago

Trump should lose another one. https://cbwrong.blogspot.com/?m=1

victorha.bsky.social•29 days ago

Ok that’s one of Big Law. What about the others currently either supporting the vandalism of the Constitution of hiding under their desks?

FAFO with lawyers Mump!
This makes my day.

nance25.bsky.social•29 days ago

Go get him, Perkins Cole. God love you

drosera154.bsky.social•29 days ago

Coie…not Cole. But ❤️❤️❤️ anyway.

So good to hear this

How can we help? CAN we help?

The judge said he's not the Queen of hearts.

lindayoung164.bsky.social•29 days ago

Everything he does is an affront to or against the Constitution.

cjpalazzolo.bsky.social•29 days ago

The work Democracy Docket is truly wonderful. 💙 But it could be much better if you would stop putting his face in posts or at least cover it up. Given these past weeks, I cannot stand to see the faces of Trump-Musk-Vance.
