Judges Shut Down Trump’s Executive Orders

Four district court judges have found President Trump’s executive orders targeting law firms to be unconstitutional. It’s a major blow to Trump’s attempts to strong-arm the legal community.

A Series of Lopsided Losses

Each of the four judges ruled that Trump’s orders were a clear overreach of his authority. The decisions won’t come as a shock to anyone who’s been paying attention – it’s not like Trump’s got a great track record when it comes to pushing the limits of his power.

The DOJ’s decision to drop its defense of these orders is a tacit admission that they won’t hold up in court. Don’t expect Trump to take this lying down, though. He’ll likely find some way to spin this as a ‘deep state’ conspiracy or some other nonsense.
