Judge Rules Trump’s Attempt to Punish Law Firm Perkins Coie is “UNCONSTITUTIONAL” & “NULL & VOID”
In a meticulously and persuasively reasoned 102-page legal opinion, DC Federal Court Judge Beryl Howell ruled that Donald Trump’s Executive Order punishing the law firm Perkins Coie is unconstitutional.
The case is over, as Judge Howell granted summary judgment in favor of plaintiffs Perkins Coie (though the case likely will be appealed by Trump).
In a particularly powerful passage, Judge Howell notes that Trump has put a “cringe-worthy twist” on the Shakespeare line, “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” The judge wrote that Trump’s approach in his unconstitutional Executive Order is, “Let’s kill the lawyers I don’t like.”
