The company is like an evil vending machine, you put money in and it does what you want, unless somebody else puts more money in and tells it to stop.

I think they do that’s by keeping a very clear idea of who they are, and not letting anyone tell them otherwise.

BRIEF FOR APPELLANTS USCA Case #25-5310 • Document #2162591 Filed: 03/06/2026 Page 2 of 97 STANLEY E. WOODWARD, JR. Associate Attorney General ABHISHEK S. KAMBLI Deputy Associate Attorney General U.S. Department of Justice
INTRODUCTION Courts cannot tell the President what to say. Courts cannot tell the President what not to say. They cannot tell the President how to handle national security clearances. And they cannot interfere with Presidential directives instructing agencies to investigate racial discrimination that violates federal civil rights laws. Nor can they interfere with Presidential directives instructing agencies to review contracts or regulate government building access based on those same racial-discrimination and national-security concerns especially where such directives have not yet been implemented. Ignoring those constraints, the district courts below bent over backwards to facially invalidate every section of four Executive Orders without considering their plainly constitutional aspects and applications. This appeal of those sweeping decisions is not about the sanctity of the American law firm; it is about lower courts encroaching on the constitutional power of the President to discuss and address invidious racial discrimination, national security risks, and other problems with certain law firms.
In recognition of those problems, many law firms agreed to address their practices and commit to providing pro bono work in the public interest.1 These consolidated appeals concern four Executive Orders ("EOs") through which the President addressed risks from four other law firms: Perkins Coie LLP ("Perkins"), Jenner & Block LLP ("Jenner"), Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale & Dorr LLP ("WilmerHale"), and Susman Godfrey LLP ("Susman"). The substantially similar EOs directed a review of plaintiffs to ensure that the Federal Government's dealings with them are consistent with our Nation's civil rights laws, national security, and other public interests. In response, plaintiffs raised facial challenges under the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. Four district courts issued permanent injunctions against the four EOs. That was error, because the EOs are well within the Presidential prerogative. 1 Allen Overy Shearman Sterling LLP; Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP; Kirkland & Ellis LLP; Latham & Watkins LLP; Milbank LLP; Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP; Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP; Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP; and Wilkie Farr & Gallagher LLP.
NEW: After starting the week by announcing it was dropping the appeals, two political appointees at DOJ filed the government's brief backing Trump's law firm executive orders, previously declared unconstitutional by four different district court judges.

Changing clocks is bad, but year-round DST is just as bad. US states without time changes use year-round standard time. The hazards of a morning commute in darkness turn out to be much worse than a dark evening commute.
You are aware that DST was invented as a joke, right?
