A federal judge on Friday issued a permanent injunction, preventing the implementation of an executive order from the Trump administration that targeted the law firm Perkins Coie. The order, which aimed to penalize the firm for its involvement in matters related to the Russia investigation, was deemed unlawful by the court.
The judge's ruling included a reference to Shakespeare, adding an unusual element to the legal proceedings. While the specific Shakespearean quote was not immediately available, its inclusion suggests the judge viewed the situation with considerable gravity.
Perkins Coie, a prominent law firm, has been under scrutiny for its work related to the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The executive order sought to limit the firm's ability to operate and engage in certain legal activities.
This ruling represents a significant setback for those who supported the executive order and a victory for Perkins Coie, allowing them to continue their legal work without the restrictions imposed by the blocked order.
