The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) stands firmly with Perkins Coie in contesting the Trump administration's Executive Order, which it condemns as unconstitutional and vindictive. EFF argues that the order undermines First Amendment rights and the integrity of the legal profession by potentially punishing law firms for representing clients against the government. This move threatens the system of checks and balances central to American democracy. EFF emphasizes the importance of lawsuits against the federal government in maintaining judicial independence and protecting citizens’ rights.
The Executive Order functions as an illegal loyalty oath for the entire legal profession, jeopardizing the independence of legal representation in America.
Lawsuits against the federal government serve as essential checks on executive power, reinforcing the judiciary's role in upholding the Constitution.
