EXECUTIVE ORDERS PUNISHING LAW FIRMS

The recent executive orders punishing law firms that represented people and groups that investigated President Trump is a clear violation of the Constitution and the powers of the Executive Branch. Two law firms have given in already and made deals with President Trump. They made a mistake. Three firms have taken this matter to court and have had favorable rulings negating the Executive Orders. I sincerely hope these recent rulings will be the norm in pushing back against these types of Executive Orders. The U.S. Court System has held up so far against the misuse of the powers of the Executive Branch. We are only two months into the Trump Presiency and there will be so many more situations that will test our fragile democracy. Our system of government will only survive if we have judges, lawyers and citizens who have ethics and a love of our country and stand up against people who are trying to tear apart our country.
