This is very good news. A law firm is pushing back, and it's got one of the most respected conservative lawyers in the country making its case. That's how you do it.
JUST IN: My old firm WilmerHale sues to challenge Trump’s order against them, represented by the best conservative lawyer in the country, former Solicitor General Paul Clement.

INTRODUCTION
1. "[The right to counsel is the foundation for our adversary system," Martinez v.
Ryan, 566 U.S. 1, 12 (2012), and the "courage" of attorneys who take on unpopular clients has
long "made lawyerdom proud," Sacher v. United States, 343 U.S. 1, 4 (1952). John Adams famously embodied these principles by defending eight British soldiers in the "Boston Massacre"
trial, an effort he described as "one of the best pieces of service I ever rendered my country."! And
British monarchs' practice of punishing attorneys "whose greatest crime was to dare to defend
unpopular causes"-which threatened to reduce lawyers to "parrots of the views of whatever group
wields governmental power at the moment"-helped inspire the Bill of Rights. Cohen v. Hurley,
366 U.S. 117, 138-40 (1961) (Black, J., dissenting). It is thus a core principle of our legal system
that "one should not be penalized for merely defending or prosecuting a lawsuit." F. D. Rich Co.
v. United States ex rel. Indus. Lumber Co., 417 U.S. 116, 129 (1974).
In an unprecedented assault on that bedrock principle, the President has issued
multiple executive orders in recent weeks targeting law firms and their employees as an
undisguised form of retaliation for representing clients and causes he disfavors or employing lawyers he dislikes? These "personal vendetta[s]" are so facially improper that the first court to address the merits of one of these orders concluded that it likely violates multiple foundational
' David McCullough, John Adams 68 (2001).

Imagine if Joe Biden had unilaterally — and even unlawfully — defunded Christian organizations.

Who sponsored the pro-life event featuring a priest's Nazi salute?
Alliance Defending Freedom, Focus on the Family, and the The Heritage Foundation among others.
The crowd's cheers makes me think the conference was about something other than LIFE since Nazis aren't known for valuing it.
