George Bush appointed Federal judge strikes down trump's exec order against law firm

[butters]

President Trump's attempts to punish law firms for political reasons failed for the second time on Friday when a federal judge permanently struck down his executive order sanctioning Jenner & Block. DC District Judge John Bates ruled Trump's order an unconstitutional abuse of presidential power, Bloomberg Law reports. "This order, like the others, seeks to chill legal representation the administration doesn't like, thereby insulating the Executive Branch from the judicial check fundamental to the separation of powers," Bates wrote.

The firm had sued Trump after he sought to strip it of government contracts and its lawyers of access to federal buildings and officials, per the Washington Post.

Bates, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, went beyond his temporary pause on the executive order while the case was being considered. This time, he overturned every part of Trump's order, per CNN. "The challenged executive order targets Jenner for what it has said and thereby attempts to dampen what it might yet say," Bates wrote. "That is unconstitutional under any view of the First Amendment." The Trump administration did not immediately announce whether it will appeal the ruling.

That’s a generous offer, RockHead! Thanks. I’m looking forward to your silence.

Yet another POS judge with a POS ruling that will be struck down on appeal or by SCOTUS.

You fucking morons never learn. You run in here with every ruling against Trump but go silent when it's overturned by a higher court, which is damn near EVERY TIME. But hope seems to spring eternal among the moron crowd.

They're crowing over the "victory" of stymieing Trump not that they're actually succeeding in doing anything. They don't even really care if they win, just as long as they can get their daily hit of Dr. Feel Good.

Trump loses again as judge tosses another executive order

"Siding with WilmerHale, which sued to block the president’s order, Judge Richard J. Leon of the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia wrotethat Mr. Trump appeared intent on coercing the firm to the bargaining table under the threat of harsh penalties," reported Zach Montague. This decision, the report continued, "was welcome news for the handful of law firms that opted to fight the White House even as several of their peers caved to the pressure campaign and made deals with Mr. Trump to avoid persecution."

The order, like several others targeting other law firms, prohibited WilmerHale — which has ties to former special counsel Robert Mueller, who headed up the investigation into Russian interference on Trump's behalf in the 2016 election — from federal contracts, barred their attorneys from federal buildings, and ordered a review of any security clearances associated with them.

Leon concurred, writing in his ruling that “the cornerstone of the American system of justice is an independent judiciary and an independent bar willing to tackle unpopular cases, however daunting. The Founding Fathers knew this.”

But WHERE are the headlines about how the appellate courts/SCOTUS overturned the lower court TRO's???

There have been multiple threads regarding those.
There are several articles on the same news sites.

Are you blind, deaf or dumb?
