Texas In-House Attorney Fired After Posting Instagram Story at Capitol Building

My son went to law school with this idiot https://www.law.com/corpcounsel/2021/01/07/texas-in-house-attorney-fired-after-posting-instagram-story-at-capitol-building/?slreturn=20210007163512

It is not clear how long Paul Davis, who questioned election results in his Instagram story, served as associate general counsel at Goosehead Insurance.

An in-house attorney at Westlake, Texas-based Goosehead Insurance was fired from the company Thursday, after he posted a video on Instagram while standing outside the U.S. Capitol building in a crowd of demonstrators, on the same afternoon that a mob of Trump supporters attacked the building.

the guy couldn't pass a 10th grade debate club practice session. He must have paid somebody (maybe the guy from "Suits - Mike Ross!" ) to take his bar exam.

I saw real RWNJs joining my law school's FS chapter, and that was DECADES ago.

I think the Federalist Society is the right-wing equivalent of the ABA. I am really tempted to start attending some of the meetings just so I can monitor the stuff that these people are coming up with.

Hey Paul, here are a couple of new pharases you should learn for your future career advancement. Repeat after me, "you want fries with that?", "the warranty on your used car is about to expire", "our chimney cleaners will be in your neighborhood next week", "do you have more than $10,000 in credit card debt?"-just keep repeating them and you'll have a new job in no time.
