Trump's attacks on law firms are losing big in court

• "This Order must be struck down in its entirety as unconstitutional," Judge Richard Leon wrote in his opinion. "Indeed, to rule otherwise would be unfaithful to the judgment and vision of the Founding Fathers!"

State of play: Trump is now 0-3 in suits involving the handful of firms that opted to defend themselves in court after Trump targeted them with executive orders that threatened to cripple their businesses.

Judges previously ruled against Trump's efforts to punish Perkins Coie and Jenner & Block for their past work.

• A fourth case is still awaiting a ruling.

The other side: Most of the firms in Trump's crosshairs have opted instead to cut deals and avoid going to court. They've now collectively offered up nearly $1 billion in free legal services.

• Paul, Weiss — the first major firm to capitulate to Trump — lost four of its most powerful senior partners last week. The attorneys, who represented some of the firm's biggest clients, including Amazon and Apple, plan to start their own firm, the New York Times reported.

When Paul, Weiss reached its agreement with Trump, the firm said it feared that it would lose clients and top talent in the time it took to fight in court.

• Now, though, that's happening anyway.
