Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser has voiced strong support for Perkins Coie, a law firm singled out by a Trump executive order. Weiser joined 20 other state attorneys general in filing a legal brief opposing the order, arguing that it undermines constitutional rights and threatens the legal system’s integrity.
A U.S. District Judge temporarily blocked the order, stating it likely violates the First Amendment. Legal experts warn that punishing firms for representing politically sensitive clients could set a dangerous precedent.
Weiser’s stance highlights growing concerns over legal independence and government overreach in politically charged cases.
