The executive orders against the law firms are clearly unconstitutional, but trump does not want to back down

NEW and BREAKING:

In a major reversal, the Trump admin is NOW trying to walk back its decision to walk away from defending the law firm executive orders in court.

DOJ just notified the four fighting law firms that it now intends to continue defending the legality of the orders in court.

A day ago, DOJ had a very different position.

If the trump DOJ drops these appeals, then there will a final judicial ruling declaring these orders unconstitutional. Such a ruling could encourage the firms who signed the unconstitutional "agreements" to seek to challenge their unconstitutional agreements.

This will be fun to watch
