This is extortion. I would have no respect for a bunch of lawyers that bent over for this.

The people that should be most capable of fighting back, too.
So Trump & Gang has $600M in lawyer credits to weaponize our government, persecute individuals and corporations, and stall opposition and justice.
These companies don't get added to the good guy lawyers list.
I wonder how many are going to over-bill and under-perform?
You mean do normal lawyer stuff? Probably all of them.
might just be donvict assembling his defense team.. just in case the ship rights itself and he finds himself buried in criminal indictments and civil lawsuits.
Perhaps, or an offensive based on how anti-Semitism is currently used to target legal free speech.
That ship is currently sitting on the bottom in multiple pieces.
Capital that owns this government just got an unlimited legal budget to bury legal actions against the state. This goes way beyond "some lawyers bad."
Clutch my pearls, lawyers acting sleazy? Say it aint so!
For real, lawyering is in need of serious reform and step one should be to remove their stupid little private club bar associations from all licensing and any other official roles they currently undertake and replace them with public agencies that are accountable to a democratic process
e; Actually, make that step two, step one is spinning up a nationwide public agency that publishes court decisions in a timely manner, because the fact that we're expected to pay a couple hundred dollars a month to those WestLaw bastards or have to travel in person to a courthouse and pay extortionary printing fees for the privilege of knowing what kind of garbage judges are churning out with our tax dollars is total bullshit
Faaaaahck.
