Michael Popok: 特朗普政府几乎错过了对Perkins Coie律师事务所案的上诉截止日期。特朗普政府对Perkins Coie律师事务所采取了报复行动,因为该律所参与了罗伯特·米勒的调查。特朗普试图将该律所列为国家安全风险,并阻止政府部门与其合作,试图通过阻止Perkins Coie在联邦政府面前代表客户,来削减他们一半或更多的年收入。法官Beryl Howell认为,与特朗普和解的其他律师事务所本应寻求司法公正,独立的律师是防止暴政的重要保障。Beryl Howell质疑与特朗普和解的律师事务所是否能真正为客户的利益着想,而不是为了讨好特朗普政府。提起上诉需要提交上诉通知,政府通常有60天的时间。对特朗普政府不利的裁决于5月2日作出,因此他们有时间到7月2日提交上诉通知。特朗普政府尚未寻求紧急救济,但考虑到他们几乎用了60天的时间才提交上诉通知,很难再说这是紧急情况。上诉案件将由一个三人法官小组审理,预计在未来三到九个月内完成简报,口头辩论可能在2026年第二季度进行。特朗普可能会辩称他有权将律师事务所称为国家安全风险,即使没有充分证据。特朗普政府可能会认为Perkins Coie应该为几年前已离职的律师的行为负责,并质疑国家安全风险的证据。Beryl Howell法官强调了律师独立的重要性,并引用了托克维尔和美国国父的观点,他们认为律师是防止国家滑向暴政的重要力量。特朗普之前也曾对类似的人提起诉讼,但被法官认为毫无价值并处以罚款。特朗普担任总统并不能改变之前案件被判为恶意诉讼的事实。一旦确定了法官小组,我将报告他们的背景,虽然法官的任命者不应该影响他们的决策,但了解他们的背景有助于解读他们的肢体语言。希望法官们都能做出正确的决定,但如果其中有特朗普的支持者,结果就很难预料。我预计法院会支持Beryl Howell法官的裁决,特朗普可能会上诉到美国最高法院。最高法院需要四票才能受理上诉,五票才能推翻Beryl Howell法官的裁决。最高法院将在夏季处理一些紧急申请,并在十月的第一个星期一开启新的任期。

Shownotes Transcript

Almost missing the deadline, the Trump Administration has gotten around to appealing Judge Howell’s permanent injunction to stop Trump’s abuse of law firms — this time Perkins Code — and to block Trump from declaring them a “national security threat” as payback for some of their lawyers being involved in the Mueller investigation. Michael Popok looks at the new notice of appeal and lays out what happens next.
