The firm is the fourth to successfully sue the president, with judges issuing rulings in the cases blocking and excoriating Trump’s orders.

The ruling, involving the firm Susman Godfrey, marks the fourth time out of four that a federal judge has permanently blocked one of Trump's executive orders seeking to punish an elite law firm.

The ruling completed a clean sweep for the handful of law firms that took the risk of fighting the Trump administration in court, rather than accepting punitive conditions.
