I've been asked more than a few times about @teamtalaricohq.bsky.social's great ad about Ken Paxton stealing a $1,000 pen. Yes, they asked my permission. I love the ad. #Don'tLetKenStealYourPen. Here's the original, from 2018: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKX1...

"Frankly, I think the Framers of our Constitution would see this as a shocking abuse of power," Judge AliKhan says. She adds other firms are "capitulating" due to "coercion, plain and simple." "The govt cannot hold lawyers hostage to coerce lawyers to agree with it."
