Katie Couric’s recent segment “Trump’s attack on lawyers and judges: Is this a constitutional crisis?” features an in-depth discussion with Joe Tucker, President of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, about the administration’s escalating use of executive orders and presidential memoranda to target legal professionals—ranging from suspending attorneys’ security clearances to threatening to bar firms from federal contracts—which Tucker warns represents an unprecedented assault on judicial independence and risks upending the constitutional separation of powers. He underscores that safeguarding the Rule of Law depends on lawyers and citizens standing firm against these tactics, arguing that failure to do so could erode democratic checks and balances and precipitate a full-blown constitutional crisis.
