Thank you. Your wisdom, courage and leadership is pivotal to protecting the profession and rule of law. And..protecting democracy for the regular citizen. Thank you.
The SCOTUS can stop this moronic assholes by stating that he doesn't have immunity anymore as they mentioned previously immunity is off the table, you want to act like an ass well we'll treat you like an ass.
Bookmarking you guys in case I need representation after being arrested for calling Trump a Cheeto dusted ass clown who munches on Lonnie Muskrat's mutilated ding-dong.
Side note: I hope some of you are that kind of lawyers
Many actions of the current administration seem illegal and unconstitutional. I am baffled at why the majority party in Congress continues to turn a blind eye to obvious assaults on our nation and Constitution.
If I were suspicious I might think they were co-conspirators.
I worked for y’all as a contract paralegal for a while almost 20 years ago; partner now in a mid sized firm doing something very different. But very happy to see this.
Let me know if you want pro bono assistance on your pro bono work. Disabled and retired attorney, but I can still read, edit, write, research, analyze and, in many instances, think!
Thank you for speaking out so clearly. I hope others will follow your example. As a non-lawyer, I know I speak for millions of Americans who appreciate what you are doing
This is how democracy dies: killed by cowardly lawyers. I am grateful to this firm. I spoke to our local attorney yesterday, and he was spitting mad that Weiss rolled over. We are doomed if those who are trustees of the law bend to this literal tyranny.
Omg, THANK YOU!!!!! The constant capitulations by the most powerful has been so demoralizing!!! Thank you for standing with we the people!! We have your back. Well done!!!! Bravo!!!!👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Godspeed keep fighting the good fight. This is a war not of your/our choosing but a war nonetheless. It will require remarkable fortitude. Your peer firms have already quaked in capitulating to Trump. Push back hard.
Post this⤵️earlier today as a non-lawyer citizen. It's encouraging to know y'all are already working toward Amicus. Please consider pledging mutual support as the Trump attacks come in.
If this *isn’t* how your firm responds, you are telling potential clients that you are not a fighter. And no one wants an attorney who isn’t a fighter. No one.
Good to see it. This is an appropriate response. If I had corporate business I’d choose a firm that actually will stand up for itself and its profession over one that cowers and runs away in response to an illegal attempt to control and damage it.
When the rest of the legal profession turns their yellow tails to run, I will expect to see you still ready to fight. That's the courage and resolve I would demand of anyone representing me.
This is the right stance. And yes, some of us reading this have influence or a direct say when our companies choose an outside counsel. We will not forgive those who bent a knee to a dictator and we will not forget those who did not.

Protect the rule of law.
We need more to take action like you.
We are with you!
Keep leading.

But thank you !
Good way to keep associates on their toes I guess haha
1. All of my colleagues agreed that you were very, very smart people.
2. We all agreed that everyone in your fidi SF office was a class act.
Glad to see you’re still smart and classy.
Kudos.
Well done.
Conceding $40M in pro bono legal counsel is a Trojan Horse.
Teump is quite content with Habba, Eastman & tRudy after all.
If that's teumps standard for 'exception' legal representation then we can expect the same
Thank you.
Thank you for taking a stand.

No good comes from caving in to authoritarians. It never fixes the problem.
