DOGE officials engaged in a security breach from the National Labor Relations Board, likely taking data "on unions, ongoing legal cases and corporate secrets" unrelated to efficiency, and then tried to cover their tracks. If they are doing it here, no reason to assume they are not doing it elsewhere

Two immediate takeaways.

1) This is why they hate higher education

2) Damn, women get a helluva lot more from an advanced degree than men-folk.

Small wonder Republicans don't want women in school.

Case 1:25-cv-00716 Document 1 Filed 03/11/25 Page 2 of 43
WHAT THIS CASE IS ABOUT
1. This case concerns an Executive Order issued on March 6, 2025, entitled,
"Addressing Risks From Perkins Coie LLP" ("the Order"). The Order is an affront to the
Constitution and our adversarial system of justice. Its plain purpose is to bully those who advocate
points of view that the President perceives as adverse to the views of his Administration, whether
those views are presented on behalf of paying or pro bono clients. Perkins Coie brings this case
reluctantly. The firm is comprised of lawyers who advocate for clients; its attorneys and
employees are not activists or partisans. But Perkins Coie's ability to represent the interests of its
clients and its ability to operate as a legal-services business at allβ€” are under direct and imminent
threat. Perkins Coie cannot allow its clients to be bullied. The firm is committed to a resolute
defense of the rule of law, without regard to party or ideology, and therefore brings this lawsuit to declare the Order unlawful and to enjoin its implementation.
The Order's peculiar title betrays its oddity as an Executive Order, for its purpose
is not executive in nature. Rather, the Order reflects a purpose that is judicial-to adjudicate
whether a handful of lawyers at Perkins Coie LLP ("Perkins Coie," "the law firm," or "the firm") engaged in misconduct in the course of litigation and then to punish them by: (I) terminating government contracts with firm clients, thereby driving away current and prospective clients; (2)
denying all members and employees of the firm access to federal buildings and meetings or other
engagement with federal employees; and (3) immediately suspending, and possibly revoking, security clearances for all firm employees.
3. The Order imposes these punishments on the entire law firm even though the
attorneys involved in the purported misconduct numbered a mere handful of the more than 1,200

The PERKINS COIE law firm spits hot fire in its suit against Trump’s executive order aimed at punishing the firm.

Strongly recommend reading the first 10 paragraphs of the β€œWHAT THIS CASE IS ABOUT” section.
