    RUSH EXCERPT:
    BAKER: "Well, of course they react with aggression, right? They attack anytime anybody. Rules against them. They use that as evidence that somehow the judges are against them or political. In fact, rather than look. At. Whether or not maybe their. Actions were the. Problem and the judges simply calling them on it, this is part of the reason why you see them so. Intent on attacking these law. Firms, right? If you. If the courts. Are the main. Power of. Accountability in this. Era when. Congress is basically. Become a pocket parliament. For the. President and. You know, agencies and the Justice Department and the FBI have been made into partizan or political instruments, then you need, in Trump’s view, to neutralize the ability to go to court. And to. Stop him from. Doing his agenda. How do. You do that? By taking. Law. Firms off the. Table, by making it impossible. For plaintiffs, potential plaintiffs. To find lawyers. Or at least. High quality. Lawyers, or the. Top quality lawyers, because those lawyers are afraid. Of angering the. President of the United States. It’s all. Part of a larger. Pattern that this president. Has indicated in 10 weeks in which he’s trying to shut down. Alternate or competing centers of power in Washington."
