The situation is completely out of control - Folks should be filing bar complaints against lawyers helping trump advance his unconstitutional/illegal orders! And attorneys challenging the Administration should move for Rule 11 sanctions against the lawyers defending the WH’s illegal actions!

@fivefourpod.bsky.social Should folks be filing bar complaints against every gov lawyer helping trump advance his unconstitutional/illegal orders? They swore an oath to uphold the constitution, the law and are subject to professional ethics, right? Trump is not their client the US Government is!
