What if this is the one good conservative joke there is? Just this incredibly long running Aristocrats-style gag of never taking a photo of a meal that looks good, even once? And Gov. Scott Walker was like the George Carlin of it? Just widely respected by everybody for mastering the art.

Whether it is from citations, top-tier placements, or arguing in court in front of like-minded justices, there is value and reward in taking positions that will make people's lives worse off.

When those charged with upholding the rule of law speak out, it sends a powerful message: our democracy is in danger, and silence is not an option.

Our members joined the Lawyers' March for Democracy at the Supreme Court to stand up for democracy—because without it, there is no justice.

Lawyers don’t usually march. But these aren’t usual times.

TODAY we’re rallying outside the Supreme Court because:

🟥 Trump is attacking the rule of law.
🟥 SCOTUS is helping him do it.
🟥 And the legal system only works if we fight for it.

We’re done waiting.

Worked in legal organizing for the last few years, and I never would have thought a movement of lawyers was possible until I had the displeasure of doing this job under Trump 2.0.

“In the US, perhaps the simple act of lawyers marching together, explicitly as agents of the law, can begin to shift what it means to be a lawyer in an age of democratic crisis.”
