End of message - 'nuff said.


Edited to Add: I am NOT talking about defense lawyers - I am talking about the Republicans who are currently defending Trump and his treason.

Was John Adams a murderer for defending the soldiers, officer, and civilians charged with murder in the Boston Massacre?

Disdain for defense attorneys notwithstanding, Trump has the right to a defense.

Which Constitutional principles would you like us to suspend so that your dream can become a reality?

... that I am talking about the current state of affairs, i.e. Republicans defending Trump.

As for my 'disdain for defense attorneys', it doesn't exist. On the contrary - I've had long-standing relationships with many of them who I met when I was a court reporter.

I had to write some reports last week. The final versions looked nothing like the first drafts.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Oh, as for the people showing up at his rallies in camo and waving the banners — yeah, they’re nuts.
