A federal judge on Friday struck down an executive order signed by President Donald Trump earlier this year targeting the law firm Jenner & Block, ruling the effort ran afoul of the Constitution’s First Amendment.

The decision from US District Judge John Bates in Washington, DC, represents the second time in recent weeks a judge has thwarted Trump’s attempt to retaliate against a top law firm.

1. Excellent, I hope that judges keep striking down his insane executive orders.

2. No matter how many judges strike his EOs down, it won't make any difference.

I think his strategy is to push the government so far off a cliff that it'll be impossible to right the ship. And, unfortunately, it seems to be working now. The only way to fix things would be to get him and his rabble out of power.

3. Celebrate every little victory!

And on to the next fight

Dad was wrong, I shoulda been a lawyer. Lots of work out there right now.....

4. And to all those law firms who wouldn't stand up for the Constitution, FU!

NEW: Judge rules that Trump’s executive order targeting the law firm Jenner & Block is unconstitutional, the second such order to be overturned. DOJ still hasn’t appealed an earlier ruling that blocked an executive order targeting Perkins Coie

6. TRUMP MUST KNOW BETTER

It is illegal for any politician to punish a private business which has committed no crimes. It is actually an impeachable offense.
