I'm not a lawyer. Not smart on this stuff outside what you guys share (THANK YOU!!!)

That opening paragraph and the list of defendants is simply beautiful. I'm assuming that was done to make a point.

As a retiring Big Law attorney, this lawsuit brings tears to my eyes. Go Jenner Block! Go Cooley! We are finding out who the good ones are

beverlygarofalo.bsky.social•32 days ago

Rolling over to a blatantly unconstitutional shake down is not a good look for a supposedly powerhouse law firm … history (and clients) will remember who fought and who folded

and prospective associates and possible lateral partners

Thank goodness, it's nice to see some backbone

“[E]very day the Order remains in effect, it causes irreparable damage by seeking to coerce American businesses, lawyers, and citizens to conform with the Administration's views or be targeted for noncompliance…”

Cooley LLP is the law firm repping Jenner in its suit challenging Trump’s executive order.

Does each named defendant need their own attorneys, or can a handful of DoJ represent everyone?

If everyone needs their own lawyers, could make defending these EO very costly and time consuming

That makes me happy.

It’s un-American and criminal extortion.

Shame on John Roberts.

when a very large powerful law firm sues someone for making a poorly-founded, damaging attack on them and you wonder why other firms aren't doing that

Courage is contagious

Bravo. Stand up for the rule of law. The Big Law firms who buckle to the First Felon’s war declaration on them will be known going forward as Oligarchy Law.
Big time appeasement. The have surrendered commitment to rule of law to accountants’ bottom line.
Big profits are not enough for them. MORE!

Good! Somebody's got some stones...

@annabower.bsky.social are these law firm EOs suitable for class treatment? The Jenner company Nolan’s calls the EOs materially the same? Why not seek relief for all? No numerosity?

lawyerlady.bsky.social•32 days ago

Three is not enough for numerosity, thought Trumps threats to issue many more orders could potentially do it at least for a class wide preliminary injunction. But not sure they all have the same shared interests…

ccole2025.bsky.social•32 days ago

Thanks!

ccole2025.bsky.social•32 days ago

Jenner complaint. Jeez. Nolan?

gracegeorge23.bsky.social•32 days ago

Great news!

bathshebablue.bsky.social•32 days ago

Godspeed to them.

Good to see they get it: resist or die.

We've updated the chart.

THIIIISSSS! SPINES! If everybody sprouts one and just learns the words “no” and “fuck you”, and isn’t afraid to get a little dirty, we’ll get thru this.
