It is terrible that powerful law firms just submit. Together they could stand against the threat.

Who knew that so many people who are trained to fight over ANYTHING would turn out to be a bunch of boneless chickens?

So the choice seems to be give tons of money to Trump's causes or spend money fighting his unconstitutional orders in court. And big law firms are choosing to capitulate? I just don't get it.

I am flabbergasted that these law firms think that a deal will serve them in any way. This is round 1, baby! Extortion never stops. The only non-horrible solution is to all resist.

Why do they do it? Don't they know he'll return to extort more?

Can't hang somebody if they don't have a spine.

Haha , Trump has a nice protection racket going. Like Angelo Bruno in Philly (before he was knocked off in ‘80!)

Yes indeed. As true now as in colonial times “We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”Benjamin Franklin

It was a massive collective action failure that allowed Trump to get where he did in 2016. And it just keeps going.

Law schools should bar Skadden and Paull Weiss from on campus recruiting.

Drozd, but backwards @dzord.bsky.social

Especially since they'll give the free Trump work to the most junior associates, and then ding them on billable hours.

What I don't really get is why would someone trust a firm to stand up for their legal rights if they won't even stand for their own?
