Last week’s executive order targeting Perkins Coie represented an unprecedented abuse of executive power to punish lawyers for representing political opponents. The court’s swift rejection made clear just how far beyond constitutional bounds Trump had stepped. But rather than accept those bounds, Trump has decided to test just how many law firms he can threaten before someone stops him.

Good times.

I don’t think people realize how absolutely catastrophic this is. It’s up there with corrupting the Supreme Court, to be perfectly honest.
