The title of their first motion should be "And Trump Agrees, We've Done Nothing Wrong."
These EOs are retaliatory, and an unconstitutional exercise of the power of the office to serve his personal goals.
The fact that Trumpkins, and those around here who support him, excuse using the power of our government to exact retribution against law firms who had the temerity to take legal positions that Donald Trump personally doesn't like is as chilling as it gets. It's among the more horrific things this regime has done, and I don't say that because I'm a lawyer -- I say it because it's perhaps the most naked and flagrant 1) use of government power 2)in violation of the Constitution for 3) purely personal purposes (personal vendetta) I've ever seen. It's EXACTLY what a fascist authoritarian state would do, and if you support it, excuse it, or are in ANY way okay with it, you are a fucking fascist authoritarian and should meet your end at an Esso station just like your fascist gods. You and your guys are completely outside the law, and do not deserve its protections. Once you've opted out, you've fucking opted out.
