When did Corporate Law firms get so radically leftist? When I was in law school (I graduated in 1991) if you wanted to fight the "power" you joined the ACLU or Legal Aid. Giant Corporate firms like Paul Weiss supported pro bono causes of course but not radically leftist ones. Have our institutions been so overtaken by serious radicals that even Wall Street lawyers are radical leftists?

What exactly is the remedy then. You've played both sides of the coin and come to no conclusion. Facts matter in respect to the fact that the Trump administration is being attacked using lawfare. On the other side of the coin, the conservatives rarely get any support from the Gov in pursuit of their legal cases (you might make a case that the conservatives are using lawfare but it is never supported by the actual courts).

My question is does the current Gov continue to just take it and essentially protest in court (leading to weeks and months of delay) or the alternative is to ignore the courts leading to bad places in our entire Gov structure.

Why are small district courts (a district is a limited geographical area, how are they allowed to issue universal TRO's outside their district is beyond my understanding).

This must stop. The courts have certain powers as do the legislative and executive branches. The artical III portion of the constition seems to have gone from the least powerful branch of Gov to the goal tender of anything that the Gov wishes to do which is beyond bizaar.
