It would appear that the large firms are working hard to live up to the image we all have of lawyers. Any good ones should be livid that they will be dragged down with them.

Should we be shocked? Americans voted for this after being told who they are for decades. Accountability matters, for them and the voters who voted. Every vote matters.

This is troubling, attorneys live and breathe the law. This authoritative administration is working to tear down our federal government from the inside, from the executive branch. Trump is violating his oath to the constitution and the American people.

Me neither. I can't imagine what the founders would think of Americans right now. What happened to courage and those who stand strong on principle? What happened to those who were willing to fight for democracy and the rule of law? Have we just given up on our country and what it means to lead?

Lack of principles is not limited to a class, profession, or political party. I've heard various reasons, or speculation on why some firms caved with many coming down to money. If that's the case, if is bowing because they can continue to make money, then they told us who they are. Sad.

Corporate law is easy prey for a mobster like Trump. Why? Rather than firms binding together for the principle of law, they quiver in self-imposed isolation as if they are simply running autonomous street-corner lemonade stands. Law as Constitutional Virtue dies. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/b...

nytimes.comIn Trump’s Fight With Perkins Coie, the Richest Firms Are Staying QuietNone of the nation’s top-10 firms by revenue have signed a legal brief demonstrating support for the law firm that is resisting an executive order.

And here I am. A lawyer. Worked for Legal Aid for 20 plus years because I wanted to help, have a purpose. Here are those guys. Many of whom were on Legal Aid’s Board who professed a desire to protect poor people, immigrants, the abused and disenfranchised. Guess that was all bullshit PR, huh?

The deals and shit are the same as Canada and Mexico. It’s already things they are doing, they’re just letting him say it this way to get him to go away.

My thoughts are that if these firms are this chickenshit why would Democrats use them in the future? Hell, it doesn't take a crack top lawyer to capitulate to an unconstitutional threat.

a law firm capitulating to this guy! I don't get it. If any type of company has the arsenal to fight back, you would think it would be a law firm

It’s a crying shame. To be an attorney, which takes a lifetime of study, then representing the law, the Constitution and justice, not backing down to money, power or fear, IS AN HONOR. I wouldn’t pay a bunch of money to an attorney who I’d be embarrassed to walk into court with. #ProudBlue

F’ing sellouts!These faux lawyers who can’t stand up against an suthoritarian who does not hide his dislike of the constitution should all be boycotted.How can you confidently believe they will represent you?COWARDS

Didn’t you tho Adam? I am not surprised. Disappointed yes. Surprised no. These law firms live in the DC bubble. 1314 days until his term is over. Deal with the devil.

Alas, myself a lawyer… ashamed of my profession, so I quit years ago to save what’s left of my soul. I think they’ve all turned into ambulance chasers. Except for a few of the worst ones who have turned into judges.

Third law firm to crumple. After defending Shay Ross and Ruby Freeman, Willkie Farr & Gallagher take the knee to provide the equivalent of $100 million to Trump in pro bono work. (Lotta gall to call it pro bono.) I hope Emhoff has the decency to leave that craven firm.

Oh Thx for the laugh! The only thing leel dt's pseudo gov't has given me, besides an earlier death sentence being a Senior with multiple problems made 1,000xs worse by his'n demons Is the unbidden under breath chuckle at their SS core = Stupid Sadism Sadistic Stupidity exposed

Now we know something about Emhoff , and it's no good. The man "for the people" turns out to be just another white geezer schilling for corporate grifters and their legal teams. You get the feeling you were, you know, played ? Appalling little punk

That was my point. I commented the same on the story when it broke. It was tone deaf then and only that much worse now. We can do way better than Harris ,both for governor and president. Her brand is over and her husband helped to trash it !

Reminds me of the assholes who work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. When Trump made a walk through on the floor, right after the Nov. 2024 election he was greeted with, you are among friends. 🤢🤮
