I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack.
I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

Hey, Politico --
I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone.
Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down.
Defiantly,

There are only two things that stand between Trump and being a dictator -- the courts and elections. Trump wants to send a clear message to law firms that he will go after them.
It is ok to be afraid, the question is what do you do. Do you hide and cower in fear or stand tall and say it is wrong?
