Why would the people of the United States want any one person to have as much power as Trump is seeking? Journalists don't even seem to be asking members of Congress to address their role any more.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you?
My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.
