President Trump on Friday opened a third attack against a private law firm, restricting the business activities of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison just days after a federal judge ruled such measures appeared to violate the Constitution.

He's trying to shut down the law so he can make it in his own image. He's a 3rd rate mafia boss and he thinks he can just avoid the law if he takes enough law makers and law keepers out of the game. Closing schools will prevent future law keepers from graduating.
He doesn’t give a fuck about the Constitution! He doesn’t give a fuck about the courts! He’s Mad King Donald and he’s out for revenge! He’s gonna keep pushing until he is stopped! And the only ones that can stop him is us! The majority of us haven’t been hurt enough yet! But they will be!
Trying to silence every voice that says mean things about President Thinskin is an impossible task. In the end, they will shrivel into ignominy as happened to Joe McCarthy and the red scare. The extent to which the MAGA clown car caucus goes to bolster Thinskin's fragile ego is astounding.
Trump is not the main problem.
The 77 million base voters is the problem.
The dead-letter-literal-interpretation of the Bible evangelical white nationalists is the problem.
The anti-abortion anti-gay anti-immigration etc., is the problem.
Jim Crow 2.0 voting laws is the problem
Anti-science problem.
Deciding which “free”speech is permissible, using the “Justice” Department to go after personal enemies, deciding which laws to carry out and intimidation of perceived foes are all signs along the well travelled road to despotism.
The NYT seems incapable of pointing out that Trump is the one weaponizing the Justice department and is not the victim of it. Why does the NYT help Trump push his false narratives and lies by repeating them?
it’s almost like he doesn’t care about the Constitution or what the courts say
Jesus we aren’t going to make it through this if the media & our elected officials keep expecting normal behavior and acting confused by Trump’s disregard for the rules
I’m so glad we approved a CR that would restrict Trump’s ability to do whatever he wants to do. God forbid there was a shutdown and he was given an “excuse” to ignore court rulings and do what he wants!
Dear Nose Plug Trump Voters; We’re merely 53 day in. No more hoping that this horrible excuse for a human becomes a thoughtful, forward thinking, empathic, intelligent, kind, intellectual, honest, compassionate, selfless patriot. Or whatever you hoped for. He’s not it.
It was a ruling on the firm’s request for a preliminary temporary injunction seeking relief against the order. At that stage, the court wouldn’t rule on the actual constitutionality but granted relief from certain restrictions placed by the order based on it likely being found unconstitutional.
“I told you a second term would be about retribution. But I meant MY retribution against MY enemies, not your retribution for whatever ails you poor suckers.”
My dream is to see ALL American lawyers practice their sworn allegiance to the United States of America, especially the Supreme Court in the next six months —- which marks the most critical days of this entire country.
GOD BLESS AMERICA.
GOD BLESS THE WORLD.
JUSTICE FOR ALL🙏
Suppressing the law and constitution so he can’t be held accountable for breaking our laws and constitution. He needs to be impeached and thrown out now.
If he doesn’t sound like Adolf Hitler, who does that must be his idol because he’s following the same playbook that Adolf did and we all know where that ended. It’s important for everyone to stand up. Speak out speak up a 10 town halls organize the town hall. don’t wait for someone else to do it
No less an authority than conservative legal icon J. Michael Luttig said on "Deadline: White House" yesterday that Trump "has declared war on the rule of law," describing these attacks on law firms, lawyers and judges as "sinister."
I know the president has immunity against damage suits but what about Bivens suits against the White House counsel who are writing these orders and lack the courage to say “no?”
Are you happy you normalized this sadistic psychopath pos, all so you could run all kinds of "news articles" when he's potus? The NYT will go down in history for what you and others have done.
His anger is understandable. He was abused by the process in DC, Florida, NYC and State. Suspect Bidung better hurry to the Home. Huntie of course is a habitual offender. Do not attempt to buy a pistol. Do not do drugs. Do not abuse women.
And there seems to be zero consequences thus far for his refusal to accept courts decisions. It is exhausting seeing what he is getting away with. I recon, it will only get worse.
When a federal judge issues a ruling which directs this president to cease and desist from certain executive orders, and this president ignores the judge's directive, what happens next? Anything? Anything at all?
It's useful to know that federal judges can enforce their rulings through the U.S. Marshal's Service which is the constabulary of the federal bench. Americans really do need to understand the basic mechanics of their judicial branch which, so far, is the only branch against the Trump regime.
We can only look to ourselves. I'm not saying it's going to happen any time soon, but we are always organizing, educating, and agitating. The DSA has tens of thousands of members, 300k have signed a general strike card so far, and there are coordinated national marches every day. Little by little.
Is there a constitutional right to positive security clearance or to enter government buildings? I seem to recall from Oppenheimer that there was a formal appeals process against withdrawal of clearance — even if the outcome in his case was a forgone conclusion
A few ignorant racists have. We will never get rid of the die-hard cult. Reagan and the Busch’s set this train rolling decades ago. Greed. It’s all about greed at the top, ignorance at the bottom and social media tyrants and oligarchs buying their way into power and out of accountability. 😫😡🤬
The fact that ALL of the major law firms aren’t coming together to publicly denounce the assault on the rule of law is going to prove to be a very powerful and fatal blow to our democracy.
I will forever be blown away by how many cowards exist in this country.
Prediction: The case will make its way to the Supreme Court, which will find in favour of President Trump.
The next day, in unrelated news, Clarence Thomas will head off on an all expenses paid luxury vacation.
as will enforce.... unfortunately, it's going to take a while to get people to act and in that time they're getting more and more of their their private armed goon squad together..
Okay, if you say so. I’m a lot more concerned about a judge unequivocally saying “you can’t do that” than one of the richest firms in the world losing a few billable hours. The rule of law is much bigger victim here than PC is. So if they get the injunction I don’t care about damages.
Not disagreeing. But the fact that they have been harmed is the basis for their ability to claim and show irreparable harm if the EO is allowed to stand.
Read the court documents. They aren’t losing “a few billable hours.” The EO order strips them of their security clearances and prohibits them from entering federal buildings. They literally can’t represent clients. That’s why the suit involved both 1st and 6th amendments.
The trump-musk presidency doesn’t care about the US Constitution or our laws🤬. He’s a convicted felon and he’s been given the role of leadership in this country! Go figure 🤬😡
Just because the judge says something doesn’t mean anything. Trump has shown us all that underneath the law there is nothing. The courts are completely toothless. Only there to punish the poor and the powerless.
Trump is trying to blow past the point of no return to autocracy. Grateful for forces in our great America working to preserve rule of law and democracy.
Trump thinks he is a dictator and can do whatever the Hell he wants. Until or unless he's PUNISHED by the courts for violating their decisions, this will continue to devolve.

Republicans have brought the nation low
Why hasn't the presidential wedgie happened? Are they afraid his diaper will leak on them?

Not much that is effective can be done by any normal means
Legitimate power requires the peoples' ongoing consent, including between elections
Americans have overthrown their government before
No history book wrongs them
to bring frivolous LOSING REVENGE & INTIMIDATION LAWSUITS against anyone or organization he feels
has hurt his very FRAGILE FEELINGS!
Trump is STILL INSANE!
He loves to spend other people's money.
But if he can use other people's money to make people he hates waste their money it a win/win in his twisted mind.
Just sayin'
The felon will be a dictator by next Friday
Let that sink in
Trump is acting like a Dictator and we have very few guardrails reigning in his abuse of power.
He won't be. This is the dumbest timeline...
Whatintheactualfuck is going on.
I use the word pigs because that’s exactly what they are. Pigs.
Trump is a Pig. A Man-Pig.
Watch your six
It keeps being asked, but not answered.
I believe the next tactic of enforcement is impeachment 🤷🏻♀️
Have Americans gone all out stupid and nasty having been infected by a disgusting MAGA Trump virus?
🍊💩😡🤬🖕🖕🖕
I will forever be blown away by how many cowards exist in this country.

Every lawyer has to stand against this abuse of power.
