IDK about that... "all of us" may be a stretch based on what we've witnessed to date.
But at least the aba isn't kowtowing, I suppose.
Feb 12 @ 11am - USAID & aid freeze hearing, US District Court, 333 Const Ave #17
Feb 12 @ 12pm - protest the ban on gender affirming care for youth, AG Schwalb's office at 400 6th St NW.
I disagree, this is exactly what MAGA wants and voted for.
Add TWO more pending lawsuits through 2/10/25, 49 TOTAL
New lawsuits 1) Class action v Trump, Rubio and Noem for refugees and their processing 2) multi-blue State AGs v NIH funding suspension

Does it carry any weight? Is it a signal that the ABA is going to do something? If so, what?
Just trying to hold on to any tiny glimmer of hope here.
..time to break to the glass.
The money appropriated by Congress cannot be paused by a newly elected admin. Our elected representatives & The lawyers of this country know this. It must stop. – William R. Bay, president of the American Bar Association
This the "lower the lifeboats" moments
"I am having trouble understanding how a member of the bar could state unequivocally that this order is constitutional."
Maybe the CBA and the Mexican Bar should speak up.
If only they had spoken earlier, when the Rule Of Law line was repeatedly tested in the first administration

“Why is @BarackObama
constantly issuing executive orders that are major power grabs of authority?”
—Donald Trump 2012 (before felony fraud conviction)

In contrast to the ADL, which has become irrelevant now in backing Zionists who perpetrate genocide/ethnic cleansing, and who excuse/rationalize the atrocious behavior of Nazis and antisemites
We’re hosed.
The people don’t care.
It’s all too little too late.
If the people wake up, it’s already too late.
Elections today GA, KS, NE, NY, WA, OK
& coming up in states from today through spring
We just flipped a deep red seat in Idaho blue let’s show this admin we will still vote & win
We can flip the House by summer
Our vote is still a biggest defense
Maybe somebody should tell Schumer, Jeffries and most of the rest of the Dems.
Spineless Hillary Scholten, MI 3, has been one of the most abject cowards imaginable.....
Fuck America.
“Just Saying”
Speaker Mike Johnson is a liar.
Watch what they DO, never mind what they SAY.
Resist.
rump orders Justice Department to jail the ABA itself on treason charges.
