General Discussion

What I resist is the Democratic tendency to eat our own.

As to my qualifications, I've been a trial lawyer for a few months shy of forty years. I've never had a trial on national TV but I make decisions of trial strategy of the fly all that time in cases that are every bit as important to my clients. One thing I have learned over those years is to not publicly criticize the trial decisions of others.

“Your lawyer in practice spends a considerable part of his life in doing distasteful things for disagreeable people who must be satisfied, against an impossible time limit and with hourly interruptions, from other disagreeable people who want to derail the train; and for his blood, sweat, and tears, he receives in the end a few unkind words to the effect that it might have been done better, and a protest at the size of the fee.”

I will not respond with my own snarky smilies.
