Don't spend one minute feeling sorry for the law firms that capitulated. They prioritized their own profits over the rule of law, decency and democracy. They deserve the ridicule and scorn they are now receiving. History will remember them for the cowards they are.

Remember how Trump convinced people he was a brilliant businessman? Now, he’s repackaged himself as some kind of “alpha leader.” But just like his businessman brand, Trump's strongman persona is crumbling right before our eyes as he struggles to hide his profound weakness as a leader.
