The 2025 executive order and its unprecedented punishment of law firms representing controversial clients
How lower courts have ruled it unconstitutional on first, fifth, and sixth amendment grounds
The government’s bizarre claim that the president’s national security power is “unreviewable” – yikes!
The potential threat of a unitary executive theory that could blow up our entire system of law and order
Key arguments from legal heavyweights like Paul Clement and the court’s skepticism
The looming possibility of this case reaching the Supreme Court and what that could mean for democracy
