Don’t worry, the Trump Administration legal team will be headed by Hubba Bubba or whatever the hell her name is.

Interesting how none of the ass-kissing brown nosed firms are there 🤔

Lehotsky Keller is with Harvard? That's a little surprising.

This seems to be aligned with some of their past representations. NetChoice.

They snagged Scott Keller, who has the strongest Stephen Miller vibes this side of 1940s Germany

I wonder who Harvard's go to law firm is. I'd have guessed it might be the Hale part of WilmerHale, but certainly could be Ropes & Gray.

Institution that big would have a large in house counsel department I’d imagine. This really seems to be more about the optics than anything else.

lfillingham.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes they do have large in house, but doubtless also outside firms on retainer.

not to mention a fair number of these folks are very definitely Republicans (or at least used to be until very very recently)

Intriguing. Hallward-Driemeier & Levy (Ropes & Gray) are formidable. H-D argued Obergefell at SCOTUS. Levy of course was USA for Mass. Both are truly nice ppl (not typical big law). But note where this puts R&G & Quinn Emanuel: on other side of Darth Vader Trump. This is hopeful on that level, too.

How else would we know they went to Harvard?

can't wait to see who gets the case, writes the response, and tries to pack their side of the table.

I’ve had this thought before, but the firms that consented to represent Trump for free didn’t say they’d be on their A game. I’m hoping they perform with passive aggressiveness and incompetence by doing things like arriving late and trying to settle for stupid amounts, etc., to piss him off.
