This is interesting because it depends so highly on the politics of the state where the lawyer is barred. Do we think the Ohio bar is going to discipline the dudes in OLC who sanction boat bombings?

Shouldn’t it be, “Trump purports to unconstitutionally use federal pardon power on ally’s state conviction…” or something like that?

Em dashes are such a fixture or legal writing, I have simply decided not to worry about people thinking they might be AI generated in my writing.

You don’t think Jewish communities should get to decide for themselves what the sanctity of religious communal activity is about?
