Donald Trump proclaimed May 1, 2025, as both Loyalty Day and Law Day, invoking the historical tension of the 1950s Red Scare. His statement drew criticism as it contradicted the spirit of Law Day, celebrated for the rule of law. In response, legal professionals rallied nationwide, criticizing Trumpâs administration for undermining judicial integrity. Prominent figures like David Lat highlighted the unusually formal turnout in New York, while Stuart Gerson reiterated the critical need for a nonpartisan judiciary. This bipartisanship against Trumpâs legal actions marks a significant moment of unity across the legal community.
"I've never seen a protest with this many people in suits." - David Lat at the NY rally.
Stuart Gerson expressed 'a great deal of faith in the judiciary' emphasizing the importance of an independent judicial branch.
