- once again: lawyers are morally responsible for their professional decisions. people get really mad about this but … you picked the job. you took the money. you own what you’ve done.
- A bizarre number of people have stepped up to defend Julie Le. What you see in that transcript is an attorney who chose to do evil work—deporting people for ICE then moving over to DOJ in early Jan. specifically to fight these habeas petitions—being called to the carpet. She's desperate, not heroic.
- and it’s not like I have a flawless record here. almost none of us do. but if you call me out, (to the extent I can reply within the rules) I’ll tell you we needed the money or that it was a cool opportunity, not that my moral superiority demanded I take the work.
