Conservative advocacy firms of all types be like

Like, remember the bit in the Dobbs case where Alito cited to Matthew Hale, a 17th century nutjob who burned women at the stake for witchcraft? Came right out of the Thomas More society's brief

The mere existence of the Thomas More Society - just the mere thought of an ideologically-driven and intellectually dishonest organization named for a man who was notable specifically for the fact that he refused to subvert his reason to political expediency - fills me with rage.

yeah this was Alina Haba in court yesterday being told no she can't introduce evidence by gish gallop, shut up and sit down. will be amazed if she makes it through the year with her law license intact.

That's just what happens when you run through all the good lawyers and no one except actual crooks will take your case. Even funnier, half the witnesses against Trump are his former lawyers.

here's something I was wondering earlier today:

Who do you think Trump's promised 'Chief Justice of the Supreme Court' to more: Giuliani, Haba, or Aileen Cannon?
