"The Growing Trump Threat: Lawyers Must Rise to the Occasion"

If Donald Trump is elected president in 2024, he plans to remake the judiciary, civil service, Justice Department, and policing and immigration law, while also doing away with legal checks on executive power. However, one of the most alarming aspects of his campaign is his belief that the Federalist Society, led by Leonard Leo, is not conservative enough. Trump's rejection of the Federalist Society's more moderate approach has led him to seek out fringe and radical advisors who are willing to push the boundaries of the law. This shift highlights the tension within the conservative legal movement and the battle over the legitimacy of legal institutions.
