A certain judge isn’t going to stand for this type of nonsense anymore!!!!!!!!!
One of President Donald Trump’s executive orders, targeting law firms he doesn’t like for incredibly petty reasons, was struck down Tuesday by Richard Leon, a U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia.
In addition to calling Trump’s order “unconstitutional,” Leon’s 73-page opinion utilized a specific type of punctuation that Trump frequently uses himself: a crap-load of exclamation points.
Leon’s opinion included a total of 26 exclamation marks (plus one more in a quotation of a comment by Trump). It’s rare to see a judge make such use of the exclamation mark, an expression of strong emotion that legal writing experts discourage. Perhaps Leon’s usage was an attempt to communicate with Trump in a way the president could actually understand.
Some highlights from the opinion include Leon describing the Trump administration’s arguments in court as “absurd!” and responding to one of the government’s requests with an exasperated “Please!”
