From Apple News: Business Insider. "Susman Godfrey's decision to sue the US government took just 2 hours"
by Jack Newsham, Jacob Shamsian Business Insider.
"When President Donald Trump issued an executive order this month targeting Susman Godfrey, one of the nation's preeminent law firms, the way forward was clear.
The firm was ready to fight.
The partners unanimously agreed the firm would sue the United States government to block the executive order within two hours of reviewing it, the two people said.
In trump's political campaign against Big Law, nine firms have struck deals with the president, collectively promising 940 million in pro bono work. Four - Perkins Coie, Jenner & Block, WilmerHale, and Susman Godfrey - opted to fight the administration in court.
So far, there is little evidence those four firms have suffered serious consequences for choosing to fight.
In each of the four lawsuits, federal judges quickly blocked the consequential elements from each executive order and signaled they would later rule in favor of the law firms."

As for those 9 law firms who caved in to the most likely illegal executive orders from the sociopath, they should be scorned as the most despicable lawyers who by bowing bowing down to trump, have lost any integrity they may have ever had, and they should be remembered for their cowardice.
