Who's gonna do something about it?

to reconsider caving.

WHO THE FUCK WOULD HIRE A LAW FIRM THAT CAVES INTO UNCONSTITUTIONAL THREATS??? Makes ZERO sense to me.

and they have been exposed as unreliable (which is why you are having more and more partners/members leaving them).

My thought was "and...."

Here is a link to the order

I don't know how they do this day in and day out, week after week, month after month, year after year.

Howell was the Chief Judge of that court until a couple years ago when James Boasberg took over that role (and that's another "familiar" name ).

Guess they've got to give SCOTUS a lot to run with.
Or get themselves "confused" about during oral arguments.

The complaint had at least eight separate counts and the government raised multiple defenses to each count. And then the court had to address the separate elements of the test for granting injunctive relief. Not a surprise that it would be as long an opinion as it is.

Good Judge.

Could save a lot of time.

I saw this on bluesky:

Importantly - if any law firm decides to continue gifting expert pro bono services to protect and effectuate the admin’s violence and destruction - this ruling means they’re doing it because they want to. Trump is legally toothless to punish them. Pro bono work provided is support, not compliance.

Willingly giving something of value in the furtherance of a crime (i.e., trump's shakedown,) is, itself, a federal felony. So these legal firms are committing federal felonies by doing this.

TY

who would want to do business with lawyers that obviously won't stand up for what is right and legal?

The President has no power to shut down agencies or end programs that are properly appropriated by Congress. It has no power to deport people without due process, and straight down the line. Unfortunately, Trump has spent his whole life abusing the court system to get away with all sorts of criminal activity. It is gratifying to see so many cases decided on an expedited docket, and practically all of them are coming down against Trump.

But we also need some cases against the extortion/bribery racket Trump has been running with his inauguration scam. He's taken in about a quarter-billion in bribes already. I realize that bribery is usually a criminal offense and this DoJ won't pursue that. But I wonder if there are any civil angles or any angles to prosecute this extortion racket in state courts.

I had naively thought that once the courts were involved, that the lawbreaking would be swiftly resolved.
As it is, it's feels as if we're mired in quicksand. Maybe it's just me.

Were prone to kissing his ass in the first place.

I just hope all that rule against him have the courage to keep thumping him.

enter an order stopping him from issuing executive orders because they are so lame and a total waste of the court's time.

So, to answer the question, at no point.
