It says a lot about where we are that one can read the entire @[email protected] story on the firing of the Attorney General of the United States without a *single* reference to that officer's duty to uphold the Constitution—which might just sometimes make it just a little hard to do the boss's bidding:

Pam Bondi Wanted a Graceful Ex...

Pam Bondi Wanted a Graceful Exit. But Trump Wanted Her Gone.

Pam Bondi had a feeling her days as attorney general were numbered. But she didn’t expect President Trump to drop the curtain quite so soon.

So proud of my friend Cecillia Wang, who did a fantastic job at SCOTUS today. We used to share workspace, laughs and recipes together at the Keker & Van Nest law firm in San Francisco. She is now National Legal Director at the ACLU, and she’s gonna win the big case argued today! My guess is a 7-2 decision, but you never know. With our colleague Rob Bonta now serving as California AG, we former KVN AAPI lawyers are representing!
