Judge Strikes Down Trump Order Targeting Another Top Law Firm
A federal judge in Washington ruled on Friday that an executive order President Trump signed imposing penalties against the law firm Susman Godfrey was unconstitutional, permanently barring the government from enforcing its terms. The decision by Judge Loren L. AliKhan of the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia effectively ended, at least for now, the president's campaign to subjugate several of the nation's top law firms. It also completed a perfect record among those firms that risked fighting the administration in court, notching four decisive rulings from four separate judges, none of which the Trump administration has, so far, tried to appeal. Like three of her colleagues in Washington, Judge AliKhan found that the Trump administration had tried to crush a law firm that had represented groups opposing Mr. Trump. 'The order was one in a series attacking firms that had taken positions with which President Trump disagreed,' she wrote. 'In the ensuing months, every court to have considered a challenge to one of these orders has found grave constitutional violations and permanently enjoined enforcement of the order in full.' Two of the judges who ruled against the Trump administration were nominated by George W. Bush, and the other two by Barack Obama and Joseph R. Biden Jr. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

How I Lost My Career and Started Delivering Mail
One morning in early March 2020, I was in the Charlotte, N.C. airport, rushing to make my flight to New York, where the boutique marketing agency I worked for was based. I was head of strategy and we were kicking off a big project with a new client, a somewhat secretive law firm. Then I got a call that the meeting was off, postponed indefinitely. The law firm had decided to shelve the project because of what the gate agent in Charlotte called 'this virus thing.' 'Everybody is turning around and flying home, hon,' she said. I was still waiting for my flight home to Virginia when the call from my boss came. 'Steve,' he said, 'we're both adults, so I don't need to belabor this.' He was a gentleman and a pro about it, like he always was. I'd had the pleasure of working with him for years, and now that was over. I was being laid off.
