@heidilifeldman @democracydocket Do any lawyers or law firms receiving support from @democracydocket promise not to cave like #PaulWeiss ?
#Resist and #DoNotComply with #fascists in #USpol.
Continued thread
To quote Lee Bollinger, "It's very, very, frightening."
I knew that the US had moved to a nihilism that I had never seen before. But Columbia and Paul Weiss cowardly capitulating has really driven it home.
Some of the best lawyers in the country. One of the country's premier educational institutions have proven themselves to be shells of what I thought they were and what they told the world they were.
