Ole dad believed in that philosophy
The spirit of law does exist by the way
Youngstown v Sawyer Held:
2. The Executive Order was not authorized by the Constitution or laws of the United States, and it cannot stand.
applies
it was not an official act
and
in an individual capacity he can be sued for it
the latter consists of an 18 usc 1001 criminal violation
(3) makes or uses any false writing or document....

At some point you have to go all in. Hedging now will not save you later.
To keep the prosperity you have enjoyed, you have to stand up for the system that gave it to you.

Don’t be a coward, like Paul Weiss and Skadden

The heart of the matter, right there.
I ask lawyers.
I ask judges.
I ask the supreme court.
To say otherwise is delusional!!
However, when my niece told me she was thinking of becoming a lawyer, I told her I'd never speak to her again if she did.
Completely agree. I'm standing with the lawyers who stand for the U.S. Constitution. Well said!
Republicans have no morals.
Democrats have no balls.
Pay attention.
Not wrong about that 🤷🏼 but yes...please protect the rule of law so you can keep your jobs (complimentary)
Retiree: What do you do for a living?
Lawyer: I'm a lawyer.
Retiree: I was too, but now Trump is the Law. You'll be retired soon too.
Lawyer: Never. My job is....
Mailman: Ah, here's your pink letter Mr. Lawyer.
Fight for freedom like it’s fragile & we can lose it, bc we may.
Fight for our country like our ancestors did during the revolution, bc we must.
Fight for America like JFK, RFK & MLK bc they did

Anyone who thinks it’s “complicated” is simply tempted by cowardice.
They did it anyway. 🧐
Expecting rich white male lawyers to fight on principle is naive
If they don’t….
Go tell that to the many, many, many lawyers who defend Trump during his blatant abuse of the judicial system and defended him with no shame.
think of all the Republican representatives and senators who are lawyers...
They could not care less about their oath.
We’ve all asked that.
“Never again,” we’ve said.
Now is the time to wake up.
To speak up.
To do something.
History won’t ask if we were perfect.
It’ll ask if we stood up.
A wrong unchallenged has great power.
Throw so many law suits at #DementiaDon that he whines to oblivion.
Surely it makes financial sense to stand up to injustice and argue that you would do the same for your clients.
