although it's not as many as you would hope, but I still think there are lots and lots of lawyers who are reputable and believe in the profession of law and the fact that you have to zealously advocate for people. Here's just another irony. You would think that a president who has been through four criminal cases would understand the importance and need for defense counsel.

Well, the other thing that's sort of interesting is I don't really understand if the law firms are now going to be doing administrative work, they're going to be conflicted out of cases where they're also suing and be willing to sue the administration.

It's not just that we're going to get administration pro bono work, but it makes it very hard to do the kind of work that they've been doing, many NGOs partner all the time with large law firms in bringing cases. And these, by the way, they're private entities. They're entitled to be as political as they want to be.

They can be taking all Republican causes, all Democratic causes, whatever it is, they're private entities. So the idea that the administration is saying, oh, you're not being even-handed, who the hell are you to say that to a law firm? They And so it's really insidious in so many ways.
