Last week’s executive order targeting Perkins Coie represented an unprecedented abuse of executive power to punish lawyers for representing political opponents. The court’s swift rejection made clear just how far beyond constitutional bounds Trump had stepped. But rather than accept those bounds, Trump has decided to test just how many law firms he can threaten before someone stops him.
Good times.
Mass national protests. Stop showing up for work. Stop doing capitalisms business. Just make normal life an impossible thing. Peacefully. That’s what we can do as a civic process.
