Trump's EO targeting Big Law firm WilmerHale goes against Founding Fathers' vision, federal judge rules
Story by ktangalakislippert@businessinsider.com (Katherine Tangalakis-Lippert,Jacob Shamsian) • 14h

President Donald Trump's executive order targeting Big Law firm WilmerHale was ruled unconstitutional.
In his ruling, District Judge Richard Leon said the EO was a form of "coercion" against the firm.
Three different judges have ruled that Trump's orders against Big Law firms are illegal.
A district court judge declared President Donald Trump's executive order targeting the Big Law firm WilmerHale unconstitutional.
 
In his ruling, federal Judge Richard Leon of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, said the executive order against WilmerHale was a form of "coercion" against the firm to "suppress WilmerHale's representation of disfavored causes and clients."

"I have concluded that this Order must be struck down in its entirety as unconstitutional," Leon wrote. "Indeed, to rule otherwise would be unfaithful to the judgment and vision of the Founding Fathers!"

So does a judiciary biased against an individual, making decisions on feelings rather than the law, political decisions rather than legal, open borders, and a judiciary granting itself powers never intended by the Constitution, but that doesn't seem to much bother judges. **nononono*
