Trump adds Perkins Coie to his law firm blacklist. Their sin? Representing Hillary Clinton. To state the obvious, these orders seem designed to scare law firms from representing Trump’s rivals.

Oh, even worse they worked with Soros to ensure that judges overturned things trump thinks are necessary. Constitutional? Doesn't matter if he has a mandate, right?
More misinformation. Their "sin" was being a private law firm and having access to the FBI database so they could feed oppo research dirt to their Democrat clients like Hillary Clinton. That's simply outrageous.
Time to tell the truth:
The order technically would prevent Perkins lawyers from entering federal courthouses, so they'll have to take in on, and judges themselves might have something to say.
The questions for this executive action and others like it is what powers the legislative and judicial branches can apply to stop the clear abuses of power? If these types of actions are authoritarian in nature (clearly are), must they be followed by Agencies in our Republic form of government?
What will be next after Trump punishes „unfriendly“ lawyers/agencies.
Will Elon Musk and his DOGE nerds set up a social credit system a la China?
Plus points given for pro-government behavior, points deducted for criticism,“improper activities“.

Making messes- that’s all they are up to. This is trumps revenge tour-Perkins did work for Hillary. That’s all this is about. Perkins also does work for some giant companies, who need their services and clearances for that work. It won’t fly in the courts.
There’s definitely a petty revenge angle. It does remind me of the letter that Tom Cotton sent to law firms a couple years ago. Almost every executive order follows-up on an unpopular issue that Repubs couldn’t pass through legislation.
When I got married, and my spouse was working towards his green card we were sent to this law firm to represent us. (His work sponsored this.) I kinda love that a law firm I used is now on the fascist's blacklist.
I shall continue to be on the right side of things.
Well, the sorry excuse for a government does a whole bunch of crap without regard for actually achieving anything except for improving their own lot in life at the expense of everyone else. Support from the North! Love and Respect!
Trump and his Republican airheads should focus on governing. Which we know from past history they’re really bad at, due to their pettiness & spitefulness. Any smart politician knows the middle class of this nation are its backbone. Why a group of misfits would strive to break it is asinine.
This follows NYT story on how politicos, judges, & anyone having to deal with Trump are being intimidated & threatened into silence--We are truly in an authoritarian state.
How does trumps body handle all this hate and revenge. He has a one-track mind, to get revenge on all who dared to speak, work, run, against him. It is a long list. It would kill and exhaust most people.
He can’t find lawyers willing to break the law for him so his only move is to make it more of a liability to defend the law. What a twisted and horrific joke his presidency has become….
Whoops! Didn’t read the post clearly. I hope that his opponents will find they have lots of lawyers volunteering to represent them. Those lawyers will be our heroes.
As we said when the White House targeted Covington—and as it seems we'll have to say again—when the executive branch wields its power to single out a specific law firm and its attorneys for their past or present representation, it strikes at the heart of an impartial and independent justice system.
If anything, this action should fortify people's resolve to fight Trump even harder. We can't have a world where this kind of intimidation wins out in the end.
Yep…and they should do the exact opposite! The entire country should go after Trump, his lawless, unconstitutional corruption and remove this administration from office!

It's past time to get rid of him, anyway we can.
He's like a mean little brat getting revenge on anyone he thinks hurt him. How pathetic!
