Like a mob boss, Trump is openly and illegally extorting law firms to do his bidding. We must defend the rule of law and ensure judicial independence so everyone’s rights are protected. Many hero law firms and lawyers are refusing to capitulate to Trump, speaking out and taking him to court. However, too many are buckling and making deals because they think that will protect them and their profits.
We created a “naughty-and-nice” list of law firms that you can write or email, cheering on the heroes who are standing up and shaming the cowards who are capitulating. We can tarnish or bolster their reputations, steer business to or away from them and shame them for failing to defend our democracy and the rule of law which they all took an oath to uphold.
