Sixty-one #media organizations and press freedom advocates filed an amicus brief warning of the chilling effect on #FirstAmendment rights today urging the court to strike down an executive order that imposed sanctions on the #PerkinsCoie law firm for representing President Donald Trump’s political opponents and enforcing the #VotingRightsAct.

In an amicus brief filed on Apr. 8, 2025 in #PerkinsCoie v. #DOJ, 27 former senior government officials of both political parties, who served in the last 7 presidential admins, confirmed that they “have never before seen or condoned an ad hominem punitive, & retaliatory order of this kind, attacking & intimidating lawyers & a law firm on the basis of their lawful activities.”

New court filing: #PerkinsCoie v. #DOJ re #Trump #ExecutiveOrder punishing the #law firm

The Trump had filed to disqualify Judge Beryl Howell, basic #JudgeShopping.

Denied.

“Though this adage is commonplace, and the tactic overused, it is called to mind by defendants' pending motion to disqualify this Court: ‘When you can't attack the message, attack the messenger.’“

The Chief of Staff for #PamBondi, the United States Attorney General, posted this attack on influential conservative legal mind #MikeLutig.

For those who don’t know, #Trump issued an EO targeting the law firm #PerkinsCoie. The firm’s attys are barred from entering federal buildings (federal courts are federal buildings) & removed their security clearances. Michael Sussman, a fmr Perkins Coie atty was involved in Trump’s first impeachment.

"This is nothing less than government compelled speech – a textbook #FirstAmendment violation. The #government is explicitly forcing a private entity to dedicate resources to supporting specific #political initiatives. That a major #law firm would accept such an obviously #unconstitutional demand, rather than challenge it as #PerkinsCoie did, represents a complete abdication of their professional responsibilities"
