The article argues that the US President, President Trump, has issued a series of baseless, illegal, and even unconstitutional edicts that would have never made it past the lawyers in a normal administration. Since his presidency, the lawyers are not lawyering, making these actions seem more commonplace. The author points out that a recent judge halted the federal government from enforcing Trump's Truth Social announcement banning the artificial intelligence company Anthropic from contracting with any federal agency after Anthropic refused to use its Claude AI for mass surveillance of Americans and weapons. The judge stated that the directive was clearly retaliatory against Anthropic and was written to be so broad that it would ban the National Endowment for the Arts from using Claude's design. Despite this, a government lawyer defended these indefensible policies in court, despite admitting he was unaware of any statute giving him authority to issue such a ban. The article also criticizes the administration's lack of legal ethics and rules governing civil proceedings in federal court for its legally baseless representations. As of March 26, Trump had issued 427 executive orders and actions, reportedly prompting more than 300 legal challenges.
