As big law firms bend the knee to Donald Trump, another target of his executive orders is fighting back.
On Friday, Susman Godfrey—which won a successful $787 million lawsuit against Fox News over the network’s airing of 2020 election conspiracies—filed a suit against a Trump executive order it says was meant to “exact revenge.”
“No administration should be allowed to punish lawyers for simply doing their jobs, protecting Americans and their constitutional right to the legal process,” Susman Godfrey said in a statement.
Expensive? Yes. The thing is that money at that level is now imaginary, it is just a bunch of idiots making up numbers. They can pay for legal fees out of a Super PAC, so suing each other is just as good as sending them a check. Then there is the blatant stock market manipulation as Trump and his friends trade around numbers that are supposed to represent money in a near worthless system that 80-90% of the country doesn’t even really participate in.
