The legal community is banding together to show their support for Perkins Coie’s lawsuit against the Trump administration. The New York Times reported on Friday that more than 500 firms signed an amicus brief outlining why the president’s targeting of law firms to do his bidding is “a grave threat to our system of constitutional governance and to the rule of law itself.

The firms said President Trump’s orders targeting specific law firms are abuses of power that endanger the rule of law.

A coalition of 23 states and the District of Columbia sued the Trump administration Tuesday over $11 billion in cuts to public health grants.

The Supreme Court on Friday allowed President Donald Trump to temporarily freeze millions of dollars in grants to states for addressing teacher shortages, the administration’s first win at the high court since reclaiming power in January.
