Applaud the Legal Wins Against Trump’s Retaliation Campaign

President Trump’s efforts to punish law firms for doing their jobs just hit a wall — and the rule of law is winning.

In a remarkable string of court victories, judges appointed by both Democratic and Republican presidents have struck down Trump’s executive orders targeting respected firms like Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, and Jenner & Block. Their crime? Representing clients or causes the president doesn’t like.

Federal judges called the orders exactly what they are: unconstitutional, retaliatory, and a direct threat to America’s independent judiciary. One judge even cited Shakespeare to slam Trump’s strategy of intimidation, quoting, “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”

This is more than courtroom drama — it’s a powerful defense of democracy and the rule of law. These law firms stood firm, fought back, and won. Now it’s time to applaud their courage and the judges who defended the Constitution.

Add your name to stand with the law firms and judges who beat back Trump’s retribution campaign. Let’s celebrate this victory for justice, integrity, and the legal profession.
