This is how law firms should do it.
kekerllp.bsky.social Keker, Van Nest & Peters @kekerllp.bsky.social · Mar 22
Our first post is a big one...Statement from Keker, Van Nest & Peters on Trump’s Latest Executive Order “Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court.”
“Trump’s new Executive Order underscores how far removed this President, Attorney General and Administration are from our nation’s Constitution and bedrock values. Our liberties depend on lawyers’ willingness to represent unpopular people and causes, including in matters adverse to the Federal Government. An attack on lawyers who perform this work is inexcusable and despicable. Our profession owes every client zealous legal representation without fear of retribution, regardless of their political affiliation or ability to pay. We encourage law firm leaders to sign on to an amicus effort in support of Perkins Coie’s challenge to the Administration’s executive order targeting the firm, and to resist the Administration’s erosion of the rule of law.” – John Keker, Robert Van Nest, Elliot Peters, Laurie Carr Mims, and the Keker, Van Nest & Peters Partnership

Kwall Barack Nadeau PLLC: “Make no mistake, the goal of the Trump Administration is not only to punish specific lawyers or firms, but to chill the legal profession itself, until there is no one left willing to stand up in court and say, 'This is wrong.'”
Ryan Barack @law4employees.bsky.social: “We posted a statement about the attack on the rule of law. I urge others to do the same.” The statement reads: In response to President Trump issuing a presidential memorandum on "Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court," Ryan Barack of Kwall Barack Nadeau PLLC issued the following statement: For decades, the lawyers of Kwall Barack Nadeau PLLC have stood with the people, fighting to uphold the rights of employees, safeguard constitutional protections, and ensure that no one is above the law. We have represented individuals and classes of people who have faced discrimination, retaliation, and injustice, not because it was easy, but because it was the right thing to do. The Trump Administration's recent memorandum targeting attorneys who dare to challenge unlawful actions is a direct threat to the rule of law. It is meant to intimidate law firms like ours and to discourage the kind of advocacy we have practiced for years: principled, fearless, and rooted in justice. Make no mistake, the goal of the Trump Administration is not only to punish specific lawyers or firms, but to chill the legal profession itself, until there is no one left willing to stand up in court and say, "This is wrong." Our democracy depends on lawyers willing to speak truth to power. At Kwall Barack Nadeau PLLC we have done that for years and we're not stopping now.

Elias Law Group: “President Trump’s goal is clear. He wants lawyers and law firms to capitulate and cower until there is no one left to oppose his Administration in court.”
Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social shares statement from Elias Law Group on Bluesky: "President Trump is attempting to dismantle the constitution and attack the rule of law in his obsessive pursuit of retribution against his political opponents. Today's White House Memo targets not only me and my law firm, but every attorney and law firm who dares to challenge his assault on the rule of law. "President Trump's goal is clear. He wants lawyers and law firms to capitulate and cower until there is no one left to oppose his Administration in court.” "Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf.” "Our democracy is in peril, and the decisions made by lawyers and their firms may GROUP very well determine the future of the rule of law in the United States."
