You never “got to hand it to” Paul Clement.

Their self-preservation is no one’s liberation.

mayfaircynic.bsky.social•15 days ago

I think you're missing the whole "separate the lawyer from their client" part.

I’m shocked there was ever a tide in a different direction but this is welcome news.

Patriots every one of them.

It will turn when the fascist-leaning Supreme Court allows it to turn. Not before that.

Nice. I cannot believe every lawyer in America did not understand the target is on their back when the Bar Association sounded the alarm and those (probably Republican voting) DoJ lawyers resigned their positions. How do you not see fascism kills the law and makes you a serf? At least SOME get it.

shannoninsea.bsky.social•15 days ago

Happy to see Perkins isn’t standing alone against the fascists anymore.

This is just lovely.

brucecoolidge.bsky.social•15 days ago

Another alum here have to say I am proud, and honestly relieved because the financial pressures are real and Paul Weiss set an execrable precedent - our lives our fortunes and our sacred honor has a nice ring…at least WH stood for two of three

grahamnigel.bsky.social•14 days ago

Until they silence the judiciary...........

taz1.bsky.social•15 days ago

One good news.

This is the energy we need.

Hell yes

cdbrow1.bsky.social•14 days ago

You would think conservatives would be opposed to the government interfering in the free market for legal services.

Kind a of a bedrock conservative principal...

cdbrow1.bsky.social•14 days ago

Good news.

shereebur.bsky.social•13 days ago

This is so great 🙌🙌🙌

jdslack.bsky.social•14 days ago

YES!!!

julmm.bsky.social•15 days ago

Excellent

I hope the Paul, Weiss team that shaped their decision feels so embarrassed right now

wtjoseph.bsky.social•15 days ago

Paul, Weiss, Columbia University, Jeff Bezos, would all benefit from looking into what happened to French people who collaborated with the Nazis after France was liberated. It might stiffen their spines a bit.

Glad someone is standing up to the MAGA bullies. Let's hope is starts a trend?

andyheppelle.bsky.social•14 days ago

They have fought back with legal action! Kudos @wilmerhale.bsky.social, I salute you! The depth of dishonor of the current POTUS, VP and minions has no bottom. A lifetime of dishonor, bankruptcies & failed relationships stain the honor of their families, their party, communities and our nation🇺🇸 sad!

davidicouldbewrong.bsky.social•15 days ago

Standing up to Trump is the only way to survive. https://cbwrong.blogspot.com/?m=1

metrochimp.bsky.social•14 days ago

WilmerHale, at the time Hale & Dorr, also provided Joseph Welch to defend the US Army against Joseph McCarthy in 1954.

So it would be a long-standing grievance, if anyone in the current misadministration had a sense of history.

alexqgb.bsky.social•13 days ago

For better or worse, these people don’t read.

jaymegale.bsky.social•14 days ago

Good. May other firms find courage and inspiration to do the same.

That’s good to hear.

Same — but more of a middling partner, 2001-2015. Proud to be WH alum.

fourstarr.bsky.social•15 days ago

This has my attention. Very surprised.

bobsacamano1.bsky.social•15 days ago

I love how he gives a shout out to John Adams.

will-smiley.bsky.social•15 days ago

Excellent. Clement also was involved in challenging the NIH funding cuts last month.

polapetite.bsky.social•15 days ago

Really? Do you have a link to an article or case?

will-smiley.bsky.social•15 days ago

Here--and Jenner was on the complaint too. You can see the coalition emerging.

polapetite.bsky.social•15 days ago

Good for them

lenday.bsky.social•14 days ago

Thank God for heroes. They trump zeroes.

gemcom2000.bsky.social•15 days ago

Yes!

arinpg.bsky.social•14 days ago

Yes!

xflagirl.bsky.social•14 days ago

Fantastic news!

phoenixdoglover.bsky.social•14 days ago

FAFO time.

skiskinnyskis.bsky.social•14 days ago

I mean, likely not given the illegitimate and corrupt Cons on SCOTUS already pulled a judicial coup last year. So what makes you think such Fed Soc traitors will now change course? (which btw also includes many big law lawyers and lower court judges)

namdoan.bsky.social•13 days ago

I'm not putting my faith in Paul Clement, thanks though

thatguykurt.bsky.social•13 days ago

Let's hope so.

wahoo78.bsky.social•14 days ago

Good move. Dems will win the House in 2 years. Can't wait for those hearings and a few indictments.

oiiviermatras.bsky.social•13 days ago

🇨🇵it's better to prépare the worst it could happen. At home 13h00 public radio;most of time was spent on Burman earthquake and Turkish street demonstrations and a few criminals news items...

jathomas.bsky.social•14 days ago

It's about time someone stands up to this vindictive bully.

kaikronfield.bsky.social•14 days ago

That's a hell of an introduction. Kinda gives one a tiny bit of hope.

maya-18.bsky.social•14 days ago

This is gettin' good
