New here. But anyway adjunct prof (legal ethics) Fordham Law & Temple Law (Tokyo Campus), attorney, child welfare advocate.
Superb. Note that recent DC Bar Ethics Opinion 391 has sounded ethics alarm, reminding that mere solicitation of restriction on practice is unethical—while Perkins Coie case amici pointed out that this is flat-out extortion or bribery. Paul Weiss, Karp, & Lynch are embarrassments, plain & simple.
Lawyers aren’t usually hecklers… which should tell you something about how troubling this is.

Shaheen: "All those people who oppose this agreement -- staying in a shutdown mode was not getting us anywhere. They need to train their fire on the people who are responsible. That's Trump, Johnson, & the Republicans who have blocked every attempt to get healthcare. We need to be working together."

President Trump has issued pardons for Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Christina Bobb, Boris Epshteyn, and dozens of GOP electors and others tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 election, according to pardon attorney Ed Martin.

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine.

Elect a clown dictator wannabe, expect authoritarian circus. Taking over our institutions of higher learning is a fundamental assault on democracy, removes foundational pillars, collapses freedom. Either democracy comes off canvas & rallies back or we watch it perish before our eyes. My heart aches.
