It is patently unlawful; and good for Perkins Coie! Trump is relying not on legality but on big firms' being scared to challenge him.

💥 BREAKING: A spokesperson from Perkins Coie, the law firm that President Trump targeted yesterday in an Executive Order, messaged me today:
“We have reviewed the Executive Order. It is patently unlawful, and we intend to challenge it.”

Is the Streisand Effect a legal principle?
Perkins might well make some bones by publicly thrashing them in courts.
If your paperwork doesn't say, "Bullying 101", you're in the wrong class.
"We're so fucking good, even the convicted felon in the White House is shitting himself."
Perkins Coie: "What are you stupid or something?"
Law is on your side as is the principle, Stand up to Bullies.
Trump's criminal cases should be restarted (Trump has time for bogus private lawsuits).
How long does it take to block something like this, though?
