Roll Call - More than a dozen law firms have made deals with Trump or faced executive orders against them for participating in perceived sleights or harmful actions against him or his supporters, a tactic legal experts say undermines the rule of law by discouraging lawyers from taking cases and clients disfavored by the White House.
Clark Neily, a senior vice president for legal studies at the libertarian Cato Institute, told reporters earlier this month that he has “rarely seen something more palpably unconstitutional” than the orders targeting law firms. Neily called Trump’s orders “a dagger at the heart of due process and of our national tradition of resolving disputes peacefully through a legal process.”
Trump’s executive orders took aim at law firms over suits they brought on behalf of their clients against Trump or his allies, attorneys they hired, or their perceived violations of discrimination law for diversity, equity and inclusion policies.
The orders question their government contracts, remove security clearances, revoke access to government buildings and resources and more. More
