All litigation is vexing to someone. In this case, the Felon is vexed that a lawyer would represent an immigrant pro-bono.

Maybe albaby has input, but this seems ridiculous. If a lawyer wants to represent someone -anyone-, he can do it. And he can charge whatever rate he wants, including $0. Yes?

I'm thinking the next Dem POTUS needs to weaponize things in the opposite direction (i.e. Reps will hate it, MAGA will hate it). Then Dem congresspeople can introduce guardrail amendments that even Reps will support, and we can get some guardrails in the Constitution to prevent abuses like these in the future.

... we can get some guardrails in the Constitution to prevent abuses like these in the future.

Unfortunately the SCOTUS is complicit in ripping down the guard rails that we thought were in the Constitution.

I made a typo but corrected it before posting this time. I typed Donstitution. Given where we are now, maybe I was subconsciously accurate.

Donstitution

LOL. Yes, that is what we have now. And the Constitution is whatever the Don says it is. After all he's never bothered to read the Constitution so he can just ignore it, right?
