The American Bar Association slammed President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s moves since taking office in a scathing statement on Monday.
William R. Bay, the president of the ABA, released the statement online and never mentioned Trump or Musk by name, but he clearly highlighted various actions each have made since January 20th. Bay began, “It has been three weeks since Inauguration Day. Most Americans recognize that newly elected leaders bring change. That is expected. But most Americans also expect that changes will take place in accordance with the rule of law and in an orderly manner that respects the lives of affected individuals and the work they have been asked to perform.”
“Instead, we see wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself, such as attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID, and the attempts to criminalize those who support lawful programs to eliminate bias and enhance diversity,” Bay continued, adding:
We have seen attempts at wholesale dismantling of departments and entities created by Congress without seeking the required congressional approval to change the law. There are efforts to dismiss employees with little regard for the law and protections they merit, and social media announcements that disparage and appear to be motivated by a desire to inflame without any stated factual basis. This is chaotic. It may appeal to a few. But it is wrong. And most Americans recognize it is wrong. It is also contrary to the rule of law.
The American Bar Association supports the rule of law. That means holding governments, including our own, accountable under law. We stand for a legal process that is orderly and fair. We have consistently urged the administrations of both parties to adhere to the rule of law. We stand in that familiar place again today. And we do not stand alone. Our courts stand for the rule of law as well.

When will the big 3 evening news talk about this? Be nice if they did but I won't hold my breath. 
Fuck Trump and Elon and their lawlessness. 
I am glad that the ABA is getting involved. I have trouble seeing how any competent attorney can argue trump's crazy position.
