This is the time for smart young lawyers to make a name for themselves, rather than join the ranks of appeasing toadies.

Include the first two to capitulate as well: Paul Weiss and Skadden.

Lawyers aren’t known to be the most ethical or moral professionals out there…

It's giving fascism!

I am so disappointed in these lawyers and their firms. What a true show of absolute weakness. I honestly hope they lose all of their clients.

kslatteryresist.bsky.social•2 days ago

I’m really surprised by Simpson Thatcher. They used to be fearless. Bending the knee to fascism is disgusting

Sadly, it sounds like the quisling cowards are 'donating' up to $1 Billion in pro bono to the guy who has the entire DOJ to call upon.

Remember they have no guts, and no integrity.
Profit over principles.

They believe in the Rule of Trump, not the Rule of Law. Broken oaths to uphold justice?

Ok. This is extortion.

jeane.bsky.social•2 days ago

It is shocking. There is lots of other legal work- shame on anyone who continues to work at these firms.

Pathetic.
I hope their employees leave :)

tres-jolie.bsky.social•1 day ago

Pathetic and embarrassing. Can you imagine being employed at one of these firms? Mortifying.

Can’t wait to see how this works out for them all.

ruleoflawlessness.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah they really all do take the law right out of firms 🙄🤷🏼

1eyedundertaker.bsky.social•2 days ago

Can they as a firm be disbarred?

Mushroom suckers the bunch of them!

He’s not a builder, he’s a destroyer. And that’s the goal. That’s the whole actually plan.

Anyone looking for an endstate other than that still doesn’t get who these people are and what they actually believe.

Can anyone explain to me why these forms owe him anything?

themindfulnomad.bsky.social•2 days ago

They are being extorted

cactusf1ower.bsky.social•2 days ago

DOJ is having so many people quit, they need help. But I really doubt these firms will be giving it their best.

grbk.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm hoping that's true. Hopefully is millions of dollars worth of missed filings and BS precedent.

cactusf1ower.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s hard to fire or discipline people working pro bono

karleesyr.bsky.social•2 days ago

They are all so corrupt & they are all benefiting .

ssgtmullitard.bsky.social•2 days ago

Cowards.

kmin444.bsky.social•1 day ago

Why would anyone hire a firm that won't even defend themselves?

The resumes of those lawyers won't look good when they try to change firms.

dukieboy2.bsky.social•2 days ago

When elite law firms bankroll authoritarian vibes with free legal muscle, it’s not “pro bono”—it’s pro power. History won’t forget.
