I want to make this clearer: the law firm Perkins Coie has represented Boeing since Boeing was founded in 1916. Trump's executive order today is forcing Boeing to fire the lawyers they've used for 109 years because they also represent Democrats.

My prayer is that even the fascists on SCOTUS consider this a bridge too far.

Seriously, people, please scream more about this executive order, which is titled "Addressing Risks from Perkins Coie LLP" and begins: "By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

"Section 1. Purpose. The dishonest and dangerous activity of the law firm Perkins Coie LLP ('Perkins Coie') has affected this country for decades. Notably, in 2016 while representing failed Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton...."

and then continues to basically force any clients with a government contract, incl. Boeing, to find new lawyers.

See above for who Perkins Coie is.

@msbellows @bhasic @heafnerj I’m not getting my hopes up, civilian control as a principle is embedded pretty deep, for example we saw the DC National Guard ordered to sIt out Jan 6 rather than box those rebels in.

That being said, if there is an interservice civil war, my money’s on the pro-democracy Army as the pro-Trump Air Force has to land sooner or later
