Andrew Weissman: 我认为本届政府采取了一系列报复行动,针对哈佛大学、Jenner & Block律师事务所,以及国会议员LaMonica McIver。这些行动都带有一种报复的色彩,政府似乎在利用权力来惩罚那些不支持他们的人。这种行为不仅损害了相关机构和个人的利益,也对整个社会的公平正义造成了威胁。我们必须警惕这种滥用权力的行为,并采取措施加以制止。 Mary McCord: 我同意Andrew的观点,本届政府的报复行为令人担忧。他们不仅试图干预哈佛大学的学术项目,还对那些代表寻求庇护者和跨性别者的律师事务所进行打压。最高法院的初步裁决也暗示可能会推翻Humphrey’s executor案的先例,这将进一步削弱独立机构的独立性。我们必须坚决反对这种滥用权力的行为,并捍卫我们的宪法权利。
