With New Decree, Trump Seeks to Cow the Legal Profession

Actual memorandum from whitehouse.gov: https://archive.is/eaX4O

The situation reminds me of the Nazis banning Jewish lawyers with the "Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service" (Gesetz zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums) just weeks after their Machtergreifung. Even the naming isn't far off Trump's executive orders like "Preventing Abuses of the Legal System and the Federal Court"[1] or "Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness".

Tax consultants were the Nazis next target, in case you wonder who Trump might look out for. Banning actors from screen and stage will happen next year...
