This is so incredibly bad

Trump’s retaliation against law firms is having its predictable chilling effect. Punishing law firms for representing clients the president dislikes infringes on the 6th Amendment right to counsel of one’s choice and the 1st Amendment right to free association.

Donald Trump is trampling over our Constitution. No surprises there. https://youtu.be/i9If_4f_604

The sooner he's removed from office, the sooner the country can escape the crazy he has brought to us all!

The US Constitution demands the American people remove a rogue, hostile, foreign operated government by force, if necessary.

The fact that the judicial system gave him a total pass means that they deserve every ounce of this. Every lawyer and judge in America failed to stop him by slow walking justice. His people have the courage of thier convictions even if they are malicious. We all deserve this.

I hope it doesn't come to this, but the order could be devastating for pro bono needs. The firm I worked at for decades picked two causes (a hopeless word) to pursue: trans issues and helping Middle Eastern women from being sent back to the arms of murderers. Two major Trump targets.

Given the number of times trump has lost in court im not sure *anyone* should b afraid of losing to him

Unless, apparently, you are a longtime republican operative hired by The People as a Special Investigator who for some reason *really* didnt want to pull the trigger...

If you want to stand up to a bully, you have to do it together.

Look at Canada & Mexico, Ukraine & EU. tRump isn't able to bully them because they refuse to turn against each other.

Divided we fall. Together we stand and that WH bully does back down.

Echoes of Hans Litten, German Jewish lawyer who subpoenaed Hitler to appear as a witness in a trial in 1931, and cross-examined him for 3 hrs. Hitler thereafter would not allow Litten's name to be mentioned in his presence. Hitler got his revenge by arresting Litten in 1938. He died in Dachau.

So these law firms and lawyers don’t have no faith in the system for which they work in. What possible standing could Chump have against them in court? What do they think he’s going to have them assassinated? Just cowardly… or maybe they want to comply and are using these empty threats as excuses.
