A federal judge found President Trump's order against the law firm Susman Godfrey unconstitutional, marking the fourth legal defeat for his administration regarding similar mandates targeting major law firms. Judge Loren AliKhan indicated that Trump's orders demonstrated a pattern of attacking legal firms over their positions on issues he disagreed with, and previous rulings against other firms reinforced grave constitutional violations. The firm lauded the decision as a win for legal representation and accountability, emphasizing its commitment to the rule of law regardless of political affiliation.
"In the ensuing months, every court to have considered a challenge to one of these orders has found grave constitutional violations and permanently enjoined enforcement of the order in full," AliKhan wrote.
"This court follows suit, concluding that the order targeting Susman violates the US Constitution and must be permanently enjoined."
"We applaud the Court for declaring the administration's order unconstitutional. Our firm is committed to the rule of law and to protecting the rights of our clients without regard to their political or other beliefs."
"Susman Godfrey said in a statement that the court's ruling is a resounding victory for the rule of law and the right of every American to be represented by legal counsel without fear of retaliation."
