The U.S. is a rogue state which should be sanctioned and condemned by the international community for our flagrant violations of international law and the peace of the world. We won't be, because imperialists tend to stick together.

Not crazy to say there was a much clearer criminal case against MBS, who ordered the murder of an American newspaper columnist, than there is against Maduro.

Judge: Anything you say may be used against you. I see you have counsel, Mr. Pollack, here. If you cannot afford one the government will provide a lawyer free of charge. Did you know of these rights?

Lawyers have a duty of candor.
They do not have a duty to be consistent from one case to another.
Scholars do not answer to clients, only to their conscience.

Re your context, academics, aka professors, and lawyers are identical re the issue of intellectual honesty.
Yes - Not all lawyers, as not all academics, are intellectually honest. But, that's a different issue.
Your thesis, i.e., lawyers don't have a duty re intellectual honesty, is disingenuous.

It's almost 1 year into this presidency, and somehow, mind-numbingly, there are people who still think it's worth their energy to yell about GOP electeds instead of putting all their energy into pressuring Dems to do their jobs, which they haven't been since 1/20/2025 (most forgiving)!

Hi, Dr. SH-L!
I will confess that I take this comic's interpretation in a Shakespearean "all are punish’d" direction.
I don't believe that elected Ds on their own can stop this.
I believe that those Ds aren't using anything close to the full extent of their powers.
Happy to say more if desired.
