The Trump administration's unprecedented decision to target law firms like Perkins Coie for representing clients opposed to the President raises significant constitutional concerns. A coalition of 363 law professors has argued that the President’s actions contradict established legal precedents that protect free speech, the right to association, and the right to petition. They assert that the executive order constitutes viewpoint discrimination and violates multiple Constitutional amendments, thus threatening the rule of law and the foundational principles of the American legal system.
The President's Order is a self-declared act of retribution that targets a law firm for representing clients and causes the President disfavors.
The Order contradicts centuries of precedent safeguarding free speech, the right of association, and the right to petition.
