When President Donald Trump issued an executive order this month targeting Susman Godfrey
The order came as a "total bolt from the blue," one lawyer representing the firm said later during a court hearing
No one at Susman Godfrey spoke with the White House about cutting a deal
according to two people familiar with the matter
The partners unanimously agreed the firm would sue the United States government to block the executive order within two hours of reviewing it
there is little evidence those four firms have suffered serious consequences for choosing to fight
federal judges quickly blocked the most consequential elements from each executive order and signaled they would later rule in favor of the law firms
The judge's swift order headed off potential damage to Jenner & Block
according to a source familiar with the matter
Forty percent of the firm's revenue is from companies with government contracts
which it had represented on a pro bono basis
It's not clear whether WilmerHale or Susman Godfrey lost any clients
Both said in court filings that Trump's executive orders would harm their businesses
but they did not provide any examples of clients leaving or refusing to do business
They have argued that the executive orders violate the Constitution and are textbook examples of the government illegally targeting people and companies over their speech and violating their clients' right to counsel
The executive orders say the law firms run discriminatory DEI programs and that some of them pose national security threats because they employed lawyers who previously investigated Trump
Justice Department lawyers argued that Trump's powers are too broad for a judge to block the orders
and that the judicial branch can't even force the White House to explain itself
appeared incredulous at the government's arguments
to a barrage of often sarcastic questions about the scope of the executive order
brushing aside some of his positions as "hyper-technical legal arguments that may have no merit."
The two lawyers representing the government are Chad Mizelle
US Attorney General Pam Bondi's chief of staff
who worked in the first Trump administration and at a pair of elite law firms
who joined the Justice Department after a stint at a conservative nonprofit founded by Trump aide Stephen Miller
Two other career Justice Department officials previously working on the Perkins Coie case dropped out
Representatives for the Justice Department didn't respond to a request for comment
Each lawsuit has also attracted a wide range of amicus briefs — supportive legal arguments — from law professors
"You're a bit outmanned here," Judge Loren AliKhan quipped at Lawson when he showed up alone to a hearing in Susman Godfrey's case earlier this month
Trump's executive orders could have revoked each firm's government contracts and lawyers' security clearances
They also could have barred firm employees from government buildings
and Judge AliKhan said Trump's order meant the lawyers would not be able to enter courthouses or post offices
The firms that made deals with the White House — Paul Weiss
and Latham & Watkins — are in Trump's good graces for now
It's also unclear whether there are more detailed underlying agreements that spell out each firm's responsibilities
If any firm challenges the Trump administration in court or picks up a client Trump objects to
"If he has a different interpretation than the firms
he can bring them in line by issuing an executive order," Nate Eimer
an attorney representing over 800 firms opposing the executive orders
The White House has not answered questions about whether nonpublic agreements exist
None of the firms that made deals responded to requests for comment
Representatives for WilmerHale declined to comment
Perkins Coie did not respond to requests for comment
Trump has openly mused about using the law firms for various purposes
In a televised Cabinet meeting a week after he announced sweeping tariffs
a group spun out of the conservative Heritage Foundation
sent letters to many law firms — including some Trump hasn't targeted — asking them to devote $10 million worth of time to help litigate freedom of information lawsuits against agencies in "blue states."
"I'm dealing at my level with the managing partners
some of whom have responded very quickly," Howell said
The decisions to fight or cut a deal have opened enormous rifts within the legal profession
Divisions have emerged between litigators and dealmakers
between equity-holding partners and idealistic associates
and between big firms with centralized decision-making processes and more democratic small partnerships
"It was like the straw that broke the camel's back before it even started."
"I'm the primary breadwinner of my family," said one who left a firm that made a deal with Trump
"I don't have generational wealth to fall back on
I'm not one of these who can set myself on fire and leave."
Big Law's deals cast a chill in the upper echelons of the legal profession
said a former federal prosecutor in the US Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York
whose former colleagues fill the ranks of Big Law partnerships
some Big Law partners have expressed pride in their own firms for fighting
Others who understand why firms made deals are still unhappy
There's just this culture of fear that I've never seen in Big Law."
Companies' in-house lawyers are also nervous
They want to make sure their outside counsel is willing to fight the government if necessary
One lawyer working in a company's general counsel office told Business Insider that her company's advisors at a law firm that made a deal with Trump said it was necessary to hold onto influence with regulators
"It just feels very cynical," said the in-house lawyer
if you're going to cave in front of the government
that you're going to represent me in front of the government."

2025 — An earlier version of this story misstated when Trump targeted Paul Weiss
It was among the first law firms named in an executive order
which helped Dominion Voting Systems get millions from Fox for 2020 election lies
Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday punishing the law firm that helped Dominion Voting Systems obtain a $787.5m settlement from Fox for lies about the 2020 election.
The order against the firm, Susman Godfrey, marks the latest effort by the president to punish attorneys and firms who have opposed his interests.
The order seeks to harm the firm by limiting its attorneys from accessing government buildings, revoking security clearances and essentially making it impossible for it to represent anyone who has business before the federal government.
Read moreTrump’s rationale for targeting the firm was not immediately clear
“There were some very bad things that happened with these law firms,” he said in the Oval Office on Wednesday when he signed the order
Susman Godfrey said in a statement that it would challenge the order
“Anyone who knows Susman Godfrey knows we believe in the rule of law
and we take seriously our duty to uphold it
There is no question that we will fight this unconstitutional order,” the firm said
Susman Godfrey represented Dominion Voting Systems in its lawsuit against Fox, which ended in a landmark settlement to avoid a trial
a Delaware judge ruled in a separate lawsuit that the conservative outlet Newsmax Media defamed Dominion with its false reporting about a rigged 2020 election
Trump has issued orders punishing five other firms for connections to political rivals: Covington & Burling
“This firm is very involved in the election misconduct,” Stephen Miller, a top White House aide, said on Wednesday, according to Bloomberg.

the Godfrey Fire Department received a brand new E-One fire truck on April 28
the new truck is a 78-foot straight stick truck
Built at the E-One plant in Ocala
the department will operate the truck as a “quint,” meaning it has five functions
The truck’s 2,000 GPM pump will help the truck in its new role as it replaces an older pumper truck
Fire Chief Eric Cranmer and a trustee of the Godfrey Fire Board
drove the truck back from Florida and arrived Monday
Cranmer said the village had an aerial tower
but it broke down and was eventually sold in 2012 after 12 years of service
Godfrey lucked out in several ways with the purchase
“This truck was already built,” Cranmer said
was going to be hundreds of thousands of dollars cheaper because it was already built and escaped the price increase coming in the next year
including a paint job with a shade of red to match the department’s other trucks
The company added diamond plate in heavy traffic areas
and it reduced the complications of a whole truck re-paint
The 2024 model was received in only 2.5 years
since it was already built as opposed to a truck ordered from scratch that would have taken four years and been much more expensive
It’s used for far more than high-rise operations
and Godfrey has many two-story structures and commercial buildings where a major fire calls for a ladder
That need was obvious in January 2022 when a fire broke out at the Hatch & Kirk engine repair facility at 4758 Humbert Road in Godfrey
fully-involved fire needed a ladder truck to extinguish it
and they sent their then-ailing ladder truck
That required Godfrey to call for a ladder from Wood River
but the fire involved solvents and potentially hazardous smoke
Ladder trucks are also used on house fires and rescues
It may also improve the village’s fire rating
which could lower insurance rates for residents if reduced
The new apparatus will not be in service for about six weeks while equipment and radios are installed
Three shifts of firefighters will receive training from both Banner Fire Equipment in Roxana
The new truck will eventually respond to calls as truck 1430

other Biglaw firms have enough of a backbone to resist obeying in advance
Susman Godfrey is one of the firms at the head of the fight — they’re also getting a lot of support as they prepare for battle
Over a thousand law students took a break from studying their outlines to signal support for Susman Godfrey’s side
Reuters has coverage:
More than 1,100 law students on Tuesday filed a court brief supporting law firm Susman Godfrey
President Donald Trump’s executive order against the firm amounts to “government reprisal.”
one of the students who signed Tuesday’s brief
told Reuters he hoped it would signal to other firms that have not yet taken a stance that “this is something that students care about” and could affect where they choose to practice law
“We believe the rule of law is extremely important,” said Caruthers

a young man out of Detroit’s Visitation High School was eager to be a part of it
That was the case during the spring of 1966 when 17-year-old Godfrey Dillard accepted a basketball scholarship from Vanderbilt University
This led the way for Dillard and Nashville
native Perry Wallace to become the first Black athletes to play college basketball in the Southeastern Conference
Dillard’s scholarship signing would come shortly after Wallace’s during May 1966
it could be said that due to his impressive resume at the time
Dillard did not have to take a backseat to any student-athlete in the country
An all-state performer in football and basketball at Visitation
Dillard further honed his basketball skills as a teenager while playing highly competitive games as a 6-foot guard in the cozy gym at the former Fisher Branch YMCA on West Grand Boulevard near Northwestern High School — a proving ground that attracted the best players from across the city and beyond
But Dillard was bringing far more than his athletic prowess to the esteemed university in Nashville
Vanderbilt was receiving a young man who was an honor roll student and the first Black student elected Student Council president at the former Visitation High School
which along with Visitation Catholic Church and the Athletic Center
were neighborhood anchors at 1945 Webb off 12th Street
just north of the Boston-Edison Historic District
Then there was Dillard’s burning passion to be a part of the dramatic social activism that was taking place across the country during the 1960s
It is a passion still heard in the voice of Dillard
as he recalled that period of his life while speaking from Atlanta on April 29
“I was an ambitious young Black man who wanted to make something of myself,” explained Dillard
who also had been nurtured as a youth by the West Side Cubs
whose early history included integrating the Detroit Junior Football League
“And I was very much caught up with everything that was taking place during the Civil Rights Movement
along with all of the sacrifices that came with it
So accepting the scholarship to Vanderbilt was a very conscious decision
Dillard enrolled at Vanderbilt during a time when the NCAA had not yet extended freshman eligibility to varsity basketball and football
during Dillard’s first year as a college student
his basketball skills were relegated to Vanderbilt’s freshman team
contest against Mississippi State’s freshman team
The Tennessean newspaper described the match as “the first appearance of Negro athletes in the Mississippi State gymnasium.” The game was viewed by spectators in the stands and state troopers surrounding the floor
Dillard remained poised enough to score 16 points before fouling out
Dillard flashed the skills he developed in Detroit at other times that season as members of the Pensacola (Florida) Junior College team witnessed on Dec
when Dillard’s 19 points contributed to a 93-80 victory for the Vanderbilt freshman team
an opportunity to build on his freshman momentum and join Wallace the following season in further integrating the Southeastern Conference eluded Dillard when he suffered a knee injury requiring surgery during the preseason of his sophomore year
An even greater blow would be dealt to the native Detroiter leading into his junior season
who as a high school senior was sought out by major college basketball programs across the nation —among them Michigan State and Syracuse (the alma mater of Detroit Pistons legend Dave Bing) — discovered that his name did not appear on the final roster for Vanderbilt’s varsity team
which Dillard was supposedly not good enough to make
The Commodores would finish 15-11 overall and 9-9 in conference play during the 1968-69 season
when the majority of the Southeastern Conference’s teams had still yet to integrate
Not making Vanderbilt’s varsity team would cause Dillard to leave the university entirely during his junior year
but he says the feelings that triggered his decision lingered
I was a confident young man getting ready to play big-time college basketball and then I received my welcome to adulthood,” stated Dillard
who used a big chunk of his time away from the basketball court to become immersed in activism at Vanderbilt
which inspired Dillard to start a Black Student Union and a student-run newspaper
while also advocating for more Black faculty members
“Growing up in Detroit I had relations with white folks on a very human level
And when they flew me down to Vanderbilt I was in a really nice dorm
but I was naïve about the situation I was entering
that reflected what was going on at the time and where I was from
And I couldn’t figure out why they were so hostile.”
Detroit Is ... For choir members at historic Detroit church, Faith, family and music are harmonious
Dillard says he traded hostility for love upon his return home thanks to many people in his Detroit circle
And from that support Dillard also found a way to turn his experience at Vanderbilt into a positive
“I was severely damaged after my experience at Vanderbilt
but Detroit has always loved me and wrapped its arms around me,” said Dillard
a 1970 letterwinner on the basketball team at Eastern Michigan University
where he completed his undergraduate degree before going on to earn a law degree from the University of Michigan
a master’s degree in International Affairs from George Washington University and a Certificate of Foreign Law from Columbia University
“When I returned to Detroit I had a chance to regroup being around family and friends and they played a big role in me overcoming all of that
Pursuing a law career really came naturally because I always wanted to make life better for my community.”
As Dillard has carried out his desire to make life better for people and communities across the country during a legal career that has touched six decades
he has been involved in important civil rights cases dealing with the use of race as a factor in admissions for colleges and law schools
This includes when Dillard played a key role in the landmark 2003 Supreme Court case Grutter v
which at that time upheld the use of race as a factor in college admissions to promote diversity
“That victory represented the efforts of a great Detroit legal team that I’m very proud of
and Detroit Public Schools played a huge role as well because they helped us identify students that were involved — these were students that were strong enough to stand up to the scrutiny that came with the case,” explained Dillard
describing unsung heroes involved in the historic case dealing with admissions to the University of Michigan Law School
which was effectively overturned by the Supreme Court in 2023
“The case was about the evaluation of students during the selection process and based on the idea of an individual assessment of each applicant — not simply on race
journalists and other professionals that show us that affirmative action has been a great
Affirmative action has always been about more than race
it’s about values that are important to America
“America is a great place and we have to continue to make it better.”
And because Dillard believes in his country and the importance of diversity
the same man who helped to make history at Vanderbilt — often called the “Harvard of the South” — is now rooting for the Harvard University
which is embroiled in a battle with the Trump administration centering around academic autonomy and government control that poses a threat to the future of programs relating to DEI (Diversity
“We’re at a critical moment and we have to decide if we’re going to fight the populism of Trump or not,” said Dillard
whose early career journey included serving as a foreign service officer for Africa with the U.S
Department of State during the Carter and Reagan administrations
“I’m happy to see that Harvard is going to fight
but I don’t see it as a setback because affirmative action is not going away.”
The phrase "not going away" also can be applied to Dillard's connection to Detroit
been involved in cases with national implications
and has spent the past several years living between Atlanta and Detroit
the tone in his voice when he mentions the Central High School area and the Boston-Edison Historic District is a dead giveaway that he is a Detroiter first and foremost
The proud son of Vera Norman Dillard and Earl Dillard
and the proud grandson of Carrie Norman is equally proud to be a part of a rich tradition linked to Detroit’s Black legal community
which he guarantees will be a significant player as the future of DEI and other critical legal issues of the day play out
Detroit Is ... A love for baseball and Detroit youths is still a winning recipe for Coach Norm Taylor
“Education and the law have been the two drivers of change that have moved us forward from the days of slavery to where we are today and Black lawyers in Detroit have been an important part of that movement. The history of Black lawyers in Detroit is big time and it’s a history that will continue to make positive change in our city and across America.”

FOND DU LAC – Antonio Godfrey Sr.'s historic role on the Fond du Lac School District Board of Education may be over
but his advocacy in the community is far from finished
This month, Godfrey said goodbye to his place on the board, as well as his representative seats at Wisconsin Association of School Boards and CESA 6
navigating in a space that wasn't designed for a black person originally," he said
"I can honestly say it was one of the most rewarding
Godfrey was first appointed to the board in 2020 to fill a resigning board member's seat — chosen for his involvement in the school district and the community as a whole — and became the first Black member in the board's history
Though he lost the election to keep his seat the next year
he said when he got elected the second time
he educated himself on anything that would make a board member successful
including getting to know other districts and their boards through his additional roles
he has departed the board — as have Todd Schreiter and Brittany Hoerth
who didn't run for reelection — and his outgoing message to the board and district is to keep advocating for all students
Not just the ones involved in extracurriculars
Read more: After failed referendum, Fond du Lac School District faces layoffs and increased teacher workload
Godfrey said the main reason he wanted to get involved with the school district was a newspaper article detailing that a disproportionate number of Black and brown students were being placed into special education programs
"Kids were held accountable more than the adults," he said
"These are supposed to be the people that were supposed to educate them."
The disparities among Black, brown and poor white students became a pattern no one had a plan to address, he said, until Jeffrey Fleig took the helm as superintendent in 2021 and initiated a plan to educate all children and meet them where they're at
One of the decisions that addressed this was the district eliminating self-contained classrooms
an alternative classroom setting that places students into smaller groups
but he credited it as one of the reasons the district has changed positively in the eyes of students and fellow school districts
Some kids need to be separated from students," he said
"But you have to look at it in one way: if these kids are in these self-contained rooms
and they're sitting there having a meltdown
and multiple of these kids would stay in those rooms all day
Many of these students stayed in the self-contained classrooms for years without learning how to even read or write
Fleig shared in his "welcome back" address to staff last fall the story of one fourth-grader who
when he was provided the opportunity to learn
moved up to his appropriate grade of learning and didn't have any behavioral or disciplinary issues anymore
Godfrey's youngest son was graduating high school when he said he wished he could stay — a contrast to what he told his dad his sophomore year
when he said nothing had changed in the district
"You can definitely tell this is a totally different district."
Stay informed: Accessing local journalism is even easier with the FDL Reporter app
The school district and the board were under scrutiny this past year
including several community members speaking out last fall against teacher turnover and an "environment of fear" within the district
Many people wanted the board to take actions they legally couldn't do
things that were more appropriate for human resources
he said it was personal for him and what he wanted to do
but he quickly realized how the board worked together under the same goal of doing what's best for the students
As he and the board members got to know each other
even if they didn't get along with each other before taking up the seats
he and the other board members watched progress in the district
including raised test scores and partnerships that shared Fond du Lac's successes from the hard work of teachers
In the Wisconsin Department of Instruction 2023-24 report cards
all 14 schools scored as at least "met expectations" for the first time in 11 years
Half of the schools "exceeded expectations," and two "significantly exceeded expectations."
One of the toughest decisions came at Godfrey's last meeting April 14, when the board voted on budget cuts in light of the referendum failing in this spring's election
He said he's irritated the referendum didn't pass
and more so that they had to decide on the cuts
because the district has made so much progress
and cutting any services or staff will make it regress a little
it's the kids that are gonna be impacted," he said

Will Godfrey run for school board again in the future
he said he will continue to advocate for the students in the community
"There wasn't a building in this district that I didn't walk into regularly," he said
"Anything that had to do with supporting kids
because somebody has to speak up for them."
Godfrey also has city council to focus on, as well as Ebony Vision mentoring program Men of Vision
Daisy Frazier and Tyrone Wisdom put their heads together to find a way to address a high number of Black students getting expelled or suspended in Wisconsin
They spread the word as a community outreach program
including through Bread of Life Church members
and their first meeting welcomed 35 young men for mentoring
the program has watched hundreds of local boys become men
and some of the students have even returned as mentors
Godfrey said if he can share his story with a young teenage boy and help him not go down a bad path
No one showed him that same kind of role modeling
he's also going to spend time with his wife and family
and focus on the High School Equivalency Program to finish his education
"I'm going to take the time to concentrate on the things that are immediately important to me."

That friendship continued throughout the five decades that followed to the point where we became neighbors in STL Hills

when I was promoted and assigned to supervise our Juvenile Division

The firm is making good on their promise to fight Trump's EO
Pretty much from the moment Susman Godfrey was targeted by Donald Trump with an Executive Order designed to extract a financial penalty for not swearing fealty to Trump
the firm vowed to fight — for both themselves and for the rule of law
Yesterday the firm became the fourth in Biglaw to file a complaint against the administration over these EOs
Susman Godfrey is represented by former Solicitor General Don Verrilli
and seeks to enjoin the enforcement of the EO and have it declared unconstitutional
“The president is abusing the powers of his office to wield the might of the executive branch in retaliation against organizations and people that he dislikes
Nothing in our constitution or laws grants a president such power; to the contrary
the specific provisions and overall design of our constitution were adopted in large measure to ensure that presidents cannot exercise arbitrary
absolute power in the way that the president seeks to do in these executive orders.”
The filing alleges a cornucopia of violations of the First
Fifth and Sixth Amendments of the constitution
“If President Trump’s executive orders are allowed to stand
future presidents will face no constraint when they seek to retaliate against a different set of perceived foes
What for two centuries has been beyond the pale will become the new normal.”
A firm spokesperson provided the following statement on the litigation
“The executive order targeting Susman Godfrey is unconstitutional and retaliatory
No administration should be allowed to punish lawyers for simply doing their jobs
protecting Americans and their constitutional right to the legal process
But this goes far beyond law firms and lawyers
we are duty-bound to take on this fight against the illegal executive order.”
the President has issued a series of executive orders… targeting law firms for representing clients and causes that the President disfavors
Those activities are…protected by bedrock constitutional principles
which protects the right of attorneys to advocate for clients
and associate with clients of their choosing… [The] overall design of our Constitution [was] adopted… to ensure that presidents cannot exercise arbitrary
absolute power in the way that the President seeks to do in these executive orders
By Mark CurridenThe Texas Lawbook
The law firm calls the president’s actions a violation of the rule of law and “a grave threat to this foundational premise of our Republic.”
alleges that President Trump “is abusing the powers of his office” and “is engaged in an unprecedented and unconstitutional assault on those bedrock principles [found in Article I and in the First and Fifth Amendments] and on the independent bar.”
the president has issued multiple executive orders targeting law firms and their employees in an express campaign of retaliation for representing clients and causes he disfavors or employing lawyers he dislikes,” the lawsuit states
“If a president can with impunity seek to destroy a law firm because of the clients it represents
then the rule of law itself is in grave danger.”
“The executive order makes no secret of its unconstitutional retaliatory and discriminatory intent to punish Susman Godfrey for its work defending the integrity of the 2020 presidential election,” the Houston-based firm states in the complaint

And the very same day that the White House released the executive order against Susman Godfrey
lawyers for the firm won a huge court victory for Dominion in a billion-dollar defamation case against the conservative news channel Newsmax Media in another 2020 presidential election dispute
President Trump issued an executive order that accuses the firm of “egregious conduct and conflicts of interest” and representing “clients that engage in conduct undermining critical American interests and priorities.”
The order by the president suspends “security clearances held by individuals at Susman Godfrey pending a review of whether such clearances are consistent with the national interest.”
“Susman spearheads efforts to weaponize the American legal system and degrade the quality of American elections,” President Trump wrote in the executive order
“Susman funds groups that engage in dangerous efforts to undermine the effectiveness of the U.S
military through the injection of political and radical ideology
and it supports efforts to discriminate on the basis of race.”
President Trump’s executive order against Susman Godfrey was his fifth against major corporate law firms in the U.S
WilmerHale and Jenner Block — sued the White House and federal judges immediately issued temporary restraining orders preventing key portions of the orders from being enforced
reached a settlement agreement with the president
Paul Weiss agreed to donate $40 million of pro bono hours to causes and clients approved by both President Trump and the law firm
The chair of Paul Weiss said that the president’s “executive order could have easily destroyed our firm.”
reached similar agreements with President Trump
Skadden and Willkie have offices in Houston
the White House announced that it had reached agreements with four additional corporate law firms that have large operations in Texas: Kirkland & Ellis
Simpson Thacher & Bartlett and A&O Shearman
The White House said that the agreements require the law firms to allow an independent outside counsel to monitor their recruiting and hiring practices for possible discriminatory efforts
Simpson Thacher and A&O Shearman combined have more than 700 business lawyers practicing in Austin
Dallas and Houston and generate nearly $2 billion in revenue in Texas
Each firm agreed to provide $125 million in free legal services — some pro bono and some possible legal work for the federal government — and agreed that their pro bono work would include more politically conservative causes
Susman Godfrey states that President Trump’s executive order “is unsparing in its attempt to punish Susman Godfrey and its attorneys simply for doing their jobs as lawyers and officers of the court.”
which quotes extensively from President Trump’s social media posts and public comments
states that provisions of the executive order “aim to vitiate Susman Godfrey’s ability to represent a wide range of clients
including those with government contracts or other business before the government
and to prevent the firm from advocating in front of — or against — the government in a broad swath of matters.”
“Through its defamatory allegations against the firm
the order seeks to warn or drive clients away from engaging the firm’s services,” Susman Godfrey states
the order endeavors to foreclose the firm from practicing law — for the perceived transgression of undertaking representations with which the president disagrees.”
The lawsuit states that the executive orders violate the First Amendment by retaliating against Susman Godfrey for its speech and by discriminating against Susman Godfrey “for views or perspectives it or its clients have expressed.” The order also violates the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment by depriving Susman Godfrey of protected liberty and property interests without any procedural protections
The executive order also illegally targets Susman Godfrey “because of its commitment to equal opportunity in the legal profession,” the lawsuit states
“Unless the Judiciary acts with resolve — now — to repudiate this blatantly unconstitutional executive order and the others like it
a dangerous and perhaps irreversible precedent will be set,” Susman Godfrey argues
“If President Trump’s executive orders are allowed to stand
What for two centuries has been beyond the pale will become the new normal.”

In the early morning hours of Saturday, December 21, 2024, Ann Godfrey Frady’s beautiful spirit and soul left this earth for her heavenly home with the angels and Jesus.
She was the daughter of the late Robert and Bethel Wilson Godfrey and was also preceded in death by her husband, John David Frady, her brothers, James Robert and Billy Wilson Godfrey, and a sister, Mariam Elaine Hardin.
Ann was born at Mission Hospital on May 4, 1971, and had made her home in Haywood County. She is survived by her sister, Deborah Anne Godfrey, a brother, Samuel Dean Godfrey (Vicky), a half-brother, Robert Danko Arrington (Marlene), her daughter, Sarah Nicole Ashe (Tyler), sons, Ezekiel Sage Frady (Paige), Isaiah Slade Frady (Myrissa) and two grandchildren, Alexis Merritt Cutshaw and Lincoln Conner Ashe. They were the apples of her eye and were cherished by their Nanny.
Ann, a 1989 graduate of Tuscola High School, loved playing her flute in the Tuscola Marching Band as well as being involved in many other school activities. She went on to become a Registered Respiratory Therapist and worked for many years at Haywood Regional Medical Center and also Advent Health Hendersonville.
She loved to do many things such as yard sales, traveling, activities with family, crosswords, sudoku, and reading. Ann also enjoyed cooking and baking and her coconut cake, banana pudding, and sausage dressing were beloved staples at all family and holiday dinners and were sooo yummy! Ann’s heart held a special place for her pet dogs that she cared for and babied, Rubyanne, Roxy, Big Clifford, and Roscoe.
Ann loved her family dearly and will be missed every day. She had a soothing nature about her…even on her hardest of days. She was sweet, kind, generous and thoughtful and we have no doubt that she is rejoicing today in Paradise with her family and her Lord. Ann is whole again and free of all pain and suffering.
A Celebration of Life for Ann will be held at 2:00 pm Saturday, January 4, 2025 at Crawford / Ray Funeral Home and Cremation Service. Pastor Mark Golden will be officiating. The family will be receiving friends at the funeral home from 1:00 until 2:00 pm prior to the service.
Ann’s loving spirit will live on in the hearts of those who knew her and loved her.
Crawford / Ray Funeral Home is deeply honored to be caring for the Frady family.

Biglaw is 4 for 4. Four times firms have challenged Executive Orders targeting their firms, and, in front of four different judges, have won temporary restraining orders blocking enforcement of the key provisions of the EOs
John Bates and Richard Leon who are overseeing the cases brought by Perkins Coie
Judge AliKhan’s comments also called out the Biglaw firms bending a knee to Donald Trump to avoid the exact legal fight that Susman is nailing
“Law firms across the country are entering into agreements with the government out of fear that they will be targeted next,” she noted
“And while I wish other firms were not capitulating as readily
I admire firms like Susman for standing up and challenging it when this does threaten the very existence of their business,” AliKhan said
Plus she pointed out just how foolhardy the Biglaw deals are, “For the many firms that have entered into agreements with the administration, there’s nothing stopping the government from returning to target them in the future.” It’s a lesson Lando Calrissian had to learn the hard way
Susman Godfrey provided the following comment on the court victory
noting the import of the legal battle goes beyond the firm
“This fight is bigger and more important than any one firm
Susman Godfrey is fighting this unconstitutional executive order because it infringes on the rights of all Americans and the rule of law
We are grateful the court directly addressed the unconstitutionality of the executive order by recognizing it as a ‘shocking abuse of power.'”
2025It’s been a busy year for Linsey Godfrey’s character Sarah Horton on the Peacock streaming soap opera
Now that the lies around her are crumbling
Sarah found out that her brother-in-law Philip Kirakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) worked with Vivian (Louise Sorel)
to forge a letter from his late father Victor (John Aniston) to give him a 50% stake in his company Titan
Philip stole her husband Xander’s birthright. Now armed with this information
instead of running straight to Xander (Paul Telfer) with the truth
Sarah made the decision to keep the secret
Godfrey recently spoke to Women’s World
When looking at Sarah’s frame of mind she shared
“Sarah’s honesty is a core principle of their relationship and Xander’s the one who lies
so she’s been on her high horse for the past seven years
She’s genuinely scared he’ll leave her.”
Godfrey reflected on Sarah’s perception of what Xander would do
she is also trying to do this for Xander’s benefit
he makes terrible choices and hurts people
He’s not someone who deserves unchecked power and unlimited finances—nobody does
Philip is at least a speed bump for Xander and if he takes a breath before making decisions
maybe he won’t make all these horrible ones
Godfrey has a great working relationship with her on-screen husband, she shared, “Paul and I love working together and happen to be best friends, it carries this ease and this kind of shorthand that we have with one another. That bleeds into the characters and into our performances.”
With Sarah’s secrets waiting to be exposed, fans will have to continue to tune in to see how it plays out.
