Trump is abusing executive power to punish political enemies. Since Feb 2025, he’s signed orders targeting law firms like Perkins Coie & WilmerHale for prior legal work—revoking clearances, canceling contracts, and banning access to federal buildings. These orders name individual attorneys and are retaliatory, not lawful. This isn’t just unethical—it’s unconstitutional. They act as bills of attainder, which the Constitution forbids. For centuries, even English kings couldn’t punish without Parliament. The Framers banned attainders twice to prevent any branch—executive or legislative—from bypassing the courts to punish people. Judge Beryl Howell called this out in court. Yet Trump’s lawyers claim the president can do what even tyrants couldn’t. That’s a direct threat to due process and the separation of powers. I urge you to condemn these orders, support legal challenges, and ensure the bill of attainder ban applies to all branches. No president should be above the Constitution.
