The situation is completely out of control - Folks should be filing bar complaints against lawyers helping trump advance his unconstitutional/illegal orders! And attorneys challenging the Administration should move for Rule 11 sanctions against the lawyers defending the WH’s illegal actions!

@fivefourpod.bsky.social Should folks be filing bar complaints against every gov lawyer helping trump advance his unconstitutional/illegal orders? They swore an oath to uphold the constitution, the law and are subject to professional ethics, right? Trump is not their client the US Government is!

In a letter to all 100 U.S. Senators, William Webster, the only person ever to lead both the FBI and CIA, wrote that neither Patel nor Gabbard meets the demands of top intelligence jobs. At 100 and still at the top of his game, Webster deserves to be heeded. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Even a system that calls itself a democracy can become an oligarchy if power becomes concentrated in the hands of a few very wealthy people.
