Ready?

I was born ready.

Welcome to Advisory Opinions. I'm Sarah Isker. That's David French. The Paul Weiss saga continues. We now have a Scabin

associate who's entered the chat. We'll talk about all that. But that's just the amuse-bouche to get to the

video dissent from Judge Lawrence Van Dyke of the Ninth Circuit on a second amendment case.

And finally, a new bill trying to tackle injunctions.

That will lead us in to our next episode's conversation with a special guest.

So all of that to come on advisory opinions, plus some fun stuff at the end.

David, do you want to update us from the last episode on what has happened in the Paul Weiss saga?

Yes, yes.

A lot has happened since the last episode.

Enough happened that I was joking at about midnight that we need to just go ahead and record an emergency pod over the weekend. But it really is, this is a very interesting turn of events that just keeps getting

more interesting every new detail. So as advisory opinions, loyal advisory opinions, listeners, remember, we talked about the executive order that Trump signed that was a direct attack on Paul Weiss that was very similar to its video, I mean, its video, his order on Perkins Cooey.

So stripping of security clearances, barring from access to federal buildings,

examining to weather to see that contractors for the government were working with Paul Wise.

Just a direct frontal attack on the law firm. No question. Can we just spend just a second to explain

that contractor thing? So not only was the government, any agency not allowed to hire Paul Weiss, obviously,

but Paul Weiss clients would have their government contracts at risk because of this order,

that potentially if Paul Weiss was your lawyer, that then your government

contracts could be pulled if you were fill in the blank fortune company. And I don't know,

probably at this point, most major companies in the United States have a government contract or two,

even the ones that aren't known for government contracts, right? Yeah, I mean, think of it like this.
