Trump's orders targeting law firms raise constitutional concerns, experts say

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's recent executive orders targeting law firms, which have raised significant constitutional concerns among legal experts.

Legal scholars and civil liberties groups are concerned that these moves could set a dangerous precedent by allowing the executive branch to interfere with the independence of the legal profession. There's also apprehension about the potential chilling effect on law firms' willingness to take on cases that might oppose government interests, thereby affecting the balance of power and the checks and balances system inherent in U.S. governance.
