So what are these four lawsuits where judges ruled that #Trump can't do that and now the #DOJ is saying "Yes, he can, you stupid, stupid, judges?"
① Perkins Coie LLP v. U.S. Department of Justice (D.D.C. 25-cv-00716, decided 2025-05-02) https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/69725919/perkins-coie-llp-v-us-department-of-justice/
> Using the powers of the federal government to target lawyers for their representation of clients and avowed progressive employment policies in an overt attempt to suppress and punish certain viewpoints, however, is contrary to the Constitution, which requires that the government respond to dissenting or unpopular speech or ideas with “tolerance, not coercion.” .... The Supreme Court has long made clear that “no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics . . . or other matters of opinion.” .... Simply put, government officials “cannot . . . use the power of the State to punish or suppress disfavored expression.” ....
> That, however, is exactly what is happening here. For this reason, and those explained more fully below, #ExecutiveOrder 14230 is unconstitutional, and the findings and instructions to Executive Branch agencies issued in its Sections 1 through 5 cannot be allowed to stand.
— Judge #BerylHowell, Docket 185
>>U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled the USIP president and board members were unlawfully fired . . . and should be reinstated. In her 102-page ruling, Howell also declared that the transfers of the institute's assets, including its headquarters, seized in the administration's takeover are null and void.<<

THAT's how it's done, folks. 
@Nonilex, you could have stopped after your first three words: "Judge #BerylHowell rules!"
Judge #BerylHowell rules that #Trump / #DOGE's *entire takeover* of the U.S. Institute of Peace #USIP was unlawful—including the removal of board members & termination of programs.
Her order is very long—she not only reinstates the true board members but also boots DOGE's imposter board members & nullifies all of the illegal actions they took during their illegitimate takeover of the Institute of Peace.

#Attorney #MarkZaid has filed a lawsuit against the White House, saying the suspension of his #security clearance, which has disrupted his clients' #legal representation, is #unconstitutional retaliation by #Trump.
Given Judge #BerylHowell’s ruling Friday, I like his chances.

Jennifer Rubin at The Contrarian explains how Judge Beryl Howell (DC Circuit) threw the book at the Trump regime in her summary judgment overturning the EO against the law firm Perkins Coie.
Rubin also chides the media for failing to point out consistently that EO’s are NOT laws and that most of Trump’s weird pronouncements will turn out to be just so much hot air.
