If this result is shocking, or you think Judge Chutkan is doing something outrageous, or it shows bias for Trump, or that it’s obviously wrong, you are not being a critical consumer of legal news, and should reconsider your diet of grifters.

@Popehat 1) You are generally a defense attorney, right? 2) You are generally -- to be very very sloppy in how I say this -- anti-Trump.

How mindful are you of balancing these two perspectives when trying to evaluate what you see in these Trump cases

@ceolaf "anti-trump" is synonymous with "pro-america"

@Ceronis Oh, that's garbage.

There are plenty of pols who are anti-Trump because they are just pro-themselves. There are plenty of anti-Trump people who still despise the values in our constitution and cannot abide the American people or the idea that our nation is a pluralistic one.

Or, to put that another way, the enemy of my enemy is not always my friend.

@ceolaf nah, what's garbage is running head first into the divide et impera schtick because you want to seem like a moderate to actual fascists.

The people who shit on the walls of the capitol and tried to install the first dictator aren't arguing in good faith and it makes me sad I have to say that.
