So he is looking to stop the type of cases that are filed by him????

mastermdogg2024.bsky.social•1 day ago

lawyers filing cases against him

part-of-the-exit.bsky.social•1 day ago

That's what the order says..: was just pointing out that he pretty much filed tons of frivolous cases.

All lawyers can’t be easily cowed. I would never hire a lawyer who could be easily cowed.

The entire profession needs to come together.

Come on big law, stand together. Stand up, speak out. Don’t be Paul Weiss

I spent 30+ years at O'Melveny. And Trump is merely a cartoon character from "Rocky and Bullwinkle." And he sure as hell ain't Professor Peabody.

I suppose I'm done now.

Might have helped a lot more if the NYTs and other MSM were reporting on trump more accurately before the election.

blake105.bsky.social•2 days ago

Here we go again. NYT taking Trump’s lawless lunacy seriously. It’s not about the substance of the decree. It’s the extortion, with the power WE gave him, for personal gain! Get out of the weeds! The man has done ONLY harm since he’s been in office! Stupid policies, sadistic actions. CRIMES.

The phrase “Paul Weiss” will forever be shorthand for cowardice and appeasement in the legal profession. Forever.

There will be no legal profession if the rest of it does not stand up to MAGA Nazism now. This is the moment.

blake105.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yep. “Pull a Paul Weiss.”

The king of frivolous lawsuits has no sense of irony.

Trump is destroying the only people standing as a line of defense. Next he will go after gun manufacturers.

Who could have guessed that this would happen when a career criminal is elected to the nation’s top office?

readandrepeat2.bsky.social•2 days ago

I would substitute another word for “elected.”

Trump can not break the law. Just because he thinks he is the president

While Abbey Philip tried to harness Jaamal Bowman for telling the truth. Afraid of lawsuits. As countries call out Musk for supporting people at least called Nazi sympathizers, protests US-wide, CNN cowers. As I lose my VA and SS, from Trump/Musk's Nazi behavior, when the media cowers, we all lose

The Nazis Made A Horrifying Move In 1933. I'm Terrified Trump Is Now Doing The Exact Same Thing.
“Until recently, the question remained theoretical. But it’s not an exaggeration to say that President Trump is running plays straight out of Hitler’s playbook.”

Convicted Felon Trump is all about threats, bullying & seeking vengence.

This will only succeed if they acquiesce!

usmcbrat2.bsky.social•2 days ago

It won’t work. Every lawyer & judge I know takes their oath to uphold the Constitution very seriously. Some will cower, but it won’t be many.

ALL BIGLAW FIRMS AND THEIR LAWYERS ARE CORRUPT.

dpel.bsky.social•1 day ago

They should tell him to take his decree and shove it up his ass.🖕🖕🇺🇸🇺🇸

elsa-meowse.bsky.social•2 days ago

He is trying to silence the justice system. He cannot and must not be allowed to succeed

kevarosenberg3rd.bsky.social•1 day ago

fear and uncertainty is part of law, after all.

starjet.bsky.social•2 days ago

If the legal profession didn't expect this, and anticipate a united front, then IDK who can help them. Don't they understand that their very PROFESSION is under attack?

It works. Everyone Trump has gone after so far has capitulated except for Canada.

if only the NY Times hadn’t coddled and fluffed this piece of shit for the past decade.

paulaptb.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm angry with the Times, but it isn't many of their readers who elected Trump.

getfcked.bsky.social•1 day ago

they can read headlines and many centrists are also gaslit

paulaptb.bsky.social•1 day ago

The average voter isn't reading any headlines. Least of all at the Times. And you really don't know much about the readership of the NYT do you? Centrist, of course, Trump supporters, not many.

good read....

the United States is being ruled by a FASCIST REGIME now, literally....

we STILL don't know where those 48 people are they abducted in NM first week of March...

WHY AREN'T NEWS OUTLETS POUNDING THE DOOR OF HOMELAND SECURITY EVERY DAY DEMANINDING THE GOVT PRODUCE THOSE HOSTAGES???

americannotdorr2.bsky.social•1 day ago

Because the media is as corrupt as the government is. The media keep us divided by deliberately igniting useless debates about meaningless things so that Americans remain divided. They'd rather have us fight over which kind of pie is better than fight the actual threats to our national sovereignty.

laughin143.bsky.social•1 day ago

How do we do a recall in our districts? If our politicians won't stand up, we should!
