But of course

The further problem is that no attorney, no matter how qualified, could make this cockamamie argument to an appellate court.

The problem is is that they literally have no qualified attorneys left at DOJ.

Trump must have freaked out about this because now DOJ is back to defending this nonsense.

WSJ: Justice Department Seeks to Reverse Course and Defend Law Firm Sanctions

Turnabout comes less than a day after the Trump administration told a court it was dropping appeals of four lower-court losses

It is a stark reminder of the firms, beginning with Paul Weiss, who capitulated to Trump and the Trump administration’s threats. Skadden Arps followed, with others — as tracked by Demand Justice here — following those two BigLaw firms. Their agreements were appalling to start, indefensible once the wins started piling up from those who did challenge Trump, and outright embarrassing if the Trump administration drops these appeals as the WSJ has reported is expected.

I would really like to know where Trump has forced these firms to be spending the money they agreed to use to provide legal help to Trump causes. Certainly not to defend the DHS habeas cases. And courts are ordering legal fees for the people unlawfully detained to be paid.

How many of the top partners with Skadden Arps are in the Epstein files. How many of them were sleeping with underage, trafficked girls? I ask because we now know that the top attorney at Paul Weiss capitulated to Trump and threw his law firms reputation in the gutter because he was in the Epstein files and did not want to be outed by Trump.

Is his name now in the released Epstein files? If it is, then he dragged his law firm down for nothing.

yes. google and you will find.

WSJ: “The Justice Department as soon as Monday is expected to drop its appeals of four trial-court rulings that struck down President Trump’s actions against law firms Jenner & Block, WilmerHale, Perkins Coie, and Susman Godfrey. 
Trump issued a string of executive orders last year against several law firms and individual lawyers that would have stripped security clearances, restricted their access to federal buildings and directed agencies to end any federal contracts with the firms and their clients.”

The law firms that did not cave won. Excellent. I sure hope that the traitorous law firms that crawled and bent the need lose so much talent and money, that the firms dissolve.

Totally! Thanks for posting, OP!
