High Democrats on the Home and Senate judiciary committees despatched letters to 2 regulation corporations that struck offers with President Donald Trump to keep away from being punished for hiring or representing individuals who Trump considers enemies.

In response to the Washington Publish, Democrats Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Sen.

Equally, professors David Cole from Georgetown Legislation and Amrit Singh from Stanford Legislation College echoed these sentiments in an op-ed for The Guardian.

“Donald Trump, who has launched his second term with a blizzard of blatantly illegal actions, many of which have been suspended by the courts, has decided to address the problem at its root. He’s targeting lawyers, punishing them for doing nothing more than filing lawsuits he opposes, or hiring lawyers he does not like. He has issued unprecedented executive orders penalizing five of the nation’s major law firms, and more are likely to come,” they wrote.

The 2 professors continued to name out Trump’s actions as an assault on “the rule of law.”

“These tactics, blatantly illegal, are designed with one goal in mind: to chill lawyers’ willingness to challenge his illegal actions. They are a fundamental attack on the foundation of the rule of law. And they are achieving their purpose, not because they are legal–they obviously are not–but because too many law firms are surrendering to Trump’s illegal demands,” they wrote.

And his efforts are having Trump’s desired impact.

In response to the Washington Publish, Biden-era officers stated they’re having hassle discovering legal professionals who’re prepared to defend them, because the well-resourced regulation corporations that when would have backed them at the moment are steering clear. 

And Trump has been bragging about how his efforts are working.

“They’re all bending and saying, ‘Sir, thank you very much.’ Law firms are just saying, ‘Where do I sign? Where do I sign?’” he stated.

Trump promised to be a dictator on Day 1, and he’s succeeding.
