An elderly family member has always told lawyer jokes, about how they are weasels, crooks and liars. He did it a few days ago and I told him finally, some lawyers are crooks. Some lawyers are our best hope for fighting this scourge. Some lawyers are badasses. Fuck Donald Trump.
I was a paralegal for 25 years and always cringed at "bad lawyer" jokes. Yeah, the trope is there for a reason but there's good and bad everything and I never worked for a bad one.
Thank you... I donate when I can to democracy docket and it means so much you are still fighting....the courts are all we have left since the GOP have become complicit and the dems are running around confused.
Thank you Mark Elias and all your colleagues for not kissing the ring of the cult leader. We need more like you fighting for us. Keep up the great work!! 😀
We need more people who aren't afraid to fight the fascism trying to take over our country. Thank you so much for everything you're doing. I'm glad someone gives a shit and isn't a coward.
As an average citizen this cowardice on the part of capitulators is angering. We need more @marcelias.bsky.social and less #paulweiss @abcnewsbot.bsky.social
You sir have hutzpah! That’s why I support you and I think that everybody else should. Freedom is not free. I can’t wait for this country to come together and fight for our rights. I have high hopes.
Can’t the Bar Association go after Bondi? She lied under oath at her hearing to become the head of the DOJ and she lies all the time. She is doing unethical behavior. It seems like they could pull her law license and then she couldn’t be the Attorney General anymore.
I can see this is possible if she were from a blue state, but she is licensed out of Florida, and they are unlikely to enforce ethical /illegal behavior.
Most big law firms are composed of money chasing assholes. The big firms are happy to see their rival big firms fall, take their clients and workaholic associates. No surprise Ky.
Is there any way you or attorneys you know can help these Venezuelan men who have been sent to El Salvador without any due process? They need legal help!
Well put Mr Elias!! Thank you for standing up to this criminal enterprise led by Trump

Our democracy is in Peril, been saying this for weeks.
Project 2025 is moving at full throttle.
Musk is the #1 danger, should be removed from our White House NOW.
trump is not in charge, his dementia is advancing, he did not write the order, he is not running again.
DOJ is compromised.
Resist
@marcelias.bsky.social I very much admire your courage and am 100% behind you. I think it's worth mentioning, though, that the stakes are different for the commercial firms. Perkins could lose Boeing, and have to lay off thousands of people. That's a lot of food and mortgages. Worth it? Yes. But
Quite apart from the cowardice, who in their right minds would instruct a law firm that has so very publicly demonstrated their willingness to be suborned? It's appalling publicity.
I have been helping my elderly parents these last 3 years with legal issues. A good lawyer that truly is in it for their clients are impossible to find. They want to be paid though!
I guess these BIG firms aren't worried about their reputation when they stand before A REAL jury to defend whatever case they are working. Seems a little shaky to me.
The BIG clients (i.e. those big enough to be noticed by Trump) will be afraid to hire a BIG law firm that has not taken a knee to Trump. Sadly, real juries don't usually notice if the lawyers are from small firms, big firms, or quisling firms.
The greater scandal is that there are government lawyers who, despite having sworn to uphold the Constitution and to meet their ethical obligations to our judicial system, are helping prepare and defend these blatantly illegal and unconstitutional Executive Orders in court.

Nurses, Firefighters, Librarians, Teachers & more know they're professions won't make them rich, but do them to help out society.
Tough ethical lawyers are always valuable, but under the current circumstances you’re precious…but hopefully not rare! 🙏
