a pretty intense letter written with clarity, propulsion and verve.

Does he want to run for NY office?

audreyii.bsky.social•9 days ago

(yes I know he's a Roberts clerk etc etc, but ffs if we can't find a Dem to fight as well as this then what's even the point)

Oh, snap!

Very inspired and proud we have people with ethics who stand up for our country.

Thank you SDNY.

So good I'll forgive the use of two spaces between sentences.

Strunk & White would LOVE SDNY Atty Scotten's beautifully crafted letter. ALSO: The professionalism, ethics, legal context, & selflessness of SDNY attorneys is profoundly impressive. Hope their example provides powerful inspiration to other public servants having to face criminality of trump admin!!

Yeah it is kinda the layperson's version of Sassoon's letter. She needed to work it up legally but he just got to the point. Especially the second paragraph.

No "Dear" for that hack, just "Mr. Bove".

Respect.

Judge Ho will not look kindly on these shenanigans.

These are the type of people that our founding fathers were. Their statements will be read by future generations and they will be called heroes.

Isn't this just going to end with them filling all these jobs with unqualified magas?
Not saying there's a good answer at this point but...what does this "all the decent/competent/self respecting/non trumpmusk power cult people quit" trajectory end up with?

capopp.bsky.social•9 days ago

It ends with collapse and tyranny.

tinmanic.bsky.social•9 days ago

It might, but on the other hand, it also inspires others to rediscover their spines.

eligit.bsky.social•9 days ago

I just wonder who is in these jobs in 6 months.
someone will be.
basically whoever is willing to follow orders and not rock the boat.
anyone else gets fired or not even hired in the first place.

Backbone is a beautiful thing.

barkingsheltie.bsky.social•9 days ago

Inspiring. I appreciate that Hagan is giving Trump the benefit of doubt calling him a CEO, and not a mob boss.

sashacackler.bsky.social•9 days ago

We need more of this energy.

spaghettibeaver.bsky.social•9 days ago

absolutely going in the bank as "excellent advocacy"

subcategory "shorter is better"

guachi.bsky.social•9 days ago

In other words - absolutely not a letter that could ever have been written by an elected Democrat.

akatzel.bsky.social•9 days ago

Alas, my emails written with clarity, propulsion and verve fail to garner such attention or praise.

vbkim.bsky.social•9 days ago

Wow! Good to see there are people with integrity standing up.
