Judge permanently bars Trump executive order punishing law firm Perkins Coie (www.independent.co.uk)

The decision permanently blocks the administration from enforcing Trump’s March order that targeted the firm, in which the president blasted Perkins Coie for its ties to the left, including working with the 2016 campaign of Hillary Clinton and liberal donor George Soros, and declared the firm a national security risk.

Howell held that the executive order violated the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments of the Constitution, and that it amounted to Trump “settling personal vendettas” by taking steps that served “no legitimate government interest, but only the interest of retaliation.”

Well, I guess the legal profession is at least making some effort to protect itself from fascism, even if it's doing an absolutely shit job protecting the rest of us from it.
