The article discusses the legal backlash against the Trump administration's executive orders that target law firms. Perkins Coie and Jenner & Block are suing, claiming violations of First Amendment rights and Due Process. The orders are said to intimidate law firms from representing clients adverse to the President. Jenner's suit, represented by Cooley LLP, highlights severe constitutional concerns, and the legal community is reacting strongly to these actions. The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board criticizes the administration’s tactics as coercive against private entities.
"The Order is one of the latest in a series of materially identical executive orders targeting law firms without process based on their representation of clients adverse to the President."
"The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board recognized that the President is taking these actions to intimidate elite law firms from representing his opponents or plaintiffs who challenge his policies."
