David You seem so outraged by Trump fighting back against the outrageous lawfare which in the long run is meant to delay and stall an agenda approved by a majority of the electorate Where are your questions about who is funding these nuisance cases and where is that money coming from, I do not mean the first person listed but the behind the scenes countries and fronts that are scared that reform and change will leave them without their power and ability to obfuscate the public. Why are you not questioning the false proposition that colleges are fighting for free speech when they allow hate speech and civil rights violations against Jewish American students or how racial preferences have hurt Asian Americans and prevented upward mobility. We are seeing a major change in the perception of education and freedom. I think that in the next decade your former endeavor Above the Law will see that the vaunted law schools will loose their power as enrollment and prestige moves South. You will see Supreme Court change from the arrogant halls of Yale and Harvard et al to law schools of and by the people in Alabama or Georgia or Iowa As a doctor for over 50 years, I can tell you that the worst patient is the one in denial and who will not admit there is an underlying illness. I think you are suffereing from viral rampant group think leading to an undiagnosed case of Trump Derangement Syndrome I think your buddies in big law are chasing bucks and not democracy and are blind to the difference of being loyal patriotic opposition and working for a coup

I don't detect a lot of "outrage" in this post (and that certainly wasn't what I was going for). But I do think the executive orders targeting law firms are unconstitutional, as judges from across the ideological spectrum have unanimously concluded—and I'm guessing that these judges' rulings will be affirmed, now that the cases are on appeal. I have not read a persuasive defense of the EOs, as a matter of constitutional law or public policy (but if anyone has come across such, please send my way).
