$1.2 BILLION - https://www.law.com/americanlawyer/law-firm-profile/?id=236&name=Perkins-Coie

I don't buy it and I would hope the judiciary wouldn't either. What would essentially be the equivalent of an "ex post facto law-" style E.O. that targets a specific business and can't be given a precedent.

The problem is that 45 wants a "Unitary Executive" and intends on using E.O.'s as "laws" and THAT is NOT what they are supposed to be.

And with respect to that article regarding Perkins Coie and firm that representing THEM - they have to "show harm" and that mention of - "the prosecutor wouldn't meet with us" is part of that "showing 'harm'". Whether it is literal "harm" is a whole other issue but they have to tick this off to a judge.

And when it comes to contract law, the feds don't have a good track record in court when they attempt to do bogus contract awards or rejections, and have been slapped when it happens.
