MSNBC Style Lawyers

who are still warning about an impending Constitutional crisis are either colluding liars or cowards totally in denial of reality because with Musk-Trump using either Federal Marshals or hired guns (we don't know if it's some random armed thugs hired by Musk) to attack even independent agencies to ransack and steal files and other information from them IS WHAT A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS IS.    

We have been in a Constitutional crisis for going on months,  since Musk-Trump has been destroying the federal government,  attacking and abducting People who are not breaking the law, calling out their goons on even federal judges, now, with the full support of the Republican-fascists in the Congress and even some in the federal judiciary and in many state governments.    I would argue we were certainly in one when the Roberts Court put Trump above the law going on a year ago and as they also legalized overt and clear corruption of government by post delivery of the goods payment.  I have no doubt that the Supreme Court Republicans were thinking of selling more cases to their patron billionaires and millionaires as a retirement plan for themselves as they did that. 

I have been going on for more than four years about how I have come to a conclusion that there are an unusual number of complete cowards among those who practice the law as a profession.   I have repeatedly noted I first came to that conclusion on comparing the courage of the diplomats and military officers who testified to the House committees who investigated the crimes of Trump leading to his first impeachment.   The lawyers who testified were clearly and publicly interested on one thing above all, covering their own asses as they covered up for the crimes of Trump I or at least required that any negative information about Trump be dragged out of them while testifying under oath.  That pattern, once noticed, governed the abject failure of the legal profession, the prosecutors at the so-called Department of "Justice" including the Attorney General, to investigate and prosecute Trump, the many judges who failed to hold him to justice, the Supreme Court who one can clearly be justified in believing that many if not the majority of them failed to uphold the Constitution itself to prevent equal justice or any kind of justice to be done to the most criminal president in American history.   That is true of even the ones who didn't obviously do it because, like those "justices" who directly participated in Bush v Gore to overturn a presidential election for the most obviously of partisan reasons,  Thomas, Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh, it is true of even Jackson Brown who voted to gut the relevant sections of the 14th Amendment, annulling the Constitution, itself, to let Trump become president again. 

Let's just say that I don't much trust the legal profession to save us because they have proven only slightly less reliable in that than those supposed great protectors of freedom and the good, journalists.   Yeah, I know but you must have noticed how those in the news racket have told us about the vital function the free press plays in the promotion and protection of democracy because they're always telling us that.  And there is that quote by the young and callow Thomas Jefferson they love so much but which I think must be one of the many, many things that came out of him when he was drunk,  he certainly knew better than that by the time he became president.   

I have pointed out recently that the absolute fact that almost all lawyers go into it because it's a good way for them to make a lot of money has to be considered one of those things that govern how that profession,  from those who chase ambulances or make a profession out of parking garage law to those who are elevated to the senior ranks of the profession, the judges and what are laughingly called "justices" not only see their work but also what the actual laws mean.   The legal system is rigged for those with the most money and it is probably the most apparent of things about how it works, so it is rigged against those with less money and certainly against those who have little to no money at all.   In regard to that I have pointed out how many politicians have been trained in and have worked in the lawyer racket and, no doubt, their habits of servicing those with the deepest pockets has an effect on their conduct in those jobs.   Consider that when you think about how Mike Johnson or any of the other Republican-lawyer members of Congress act.   But also consider it when Democratic lawyer-legislators turn out to be cowards and enablers of the crimes of Trump.    It's not unlike the most obvious explanation of the conduct of the so-called news media.   Though in the case of lawyers, it is part of their professional courtesy to their best paid colleagues to excuse their immorality and their amorality because those are intrinsic to the professional practices of lawyers.   

I recently came across a Bluesky post of some lawyer who claimed to be a feminist and liberal who, nonetheless, had written an op-ed saying that Democrats should support the Kavanaugh nomination to the Supreme Court because he was probably the best they were going to get from a Trump nominee.   Someone in the comments posted a link to an article saying that Democrats should support Goresuch.  I'd never heard of the first lawyer before but the second one was written by one of the MSNBC lawyers.    I wasn't surprised at either because back when I could still stomach watching the Senate Judiciary Committee,  I'd seen so-called liberal, even democratic lawyers AND EVEN DEMOCRATIC APPOINTEES TO THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY support the lying Republican-hack, even then supporter of neo-fascist theories of the presidency,  Samuel Alito for the Supreme Court.   That was even after the testimony of Professor Ronald Sullivan pointing out Alito's clearly favoring the rights and feelings of a wealthy adult woman who had been strip-searched with cause by the police as he favored the police strip-searching a ten-year-old girl when they had no reason to suspect her of any crime.   I have little doubt that the MSNBC lawyer knew of Goresuch's opinion that a trucking company had the right to order a trucker to freeze to death on the job when he supported his nomination.    And, remember, we're talking about the "liberals" among the lawyers.  

So,  even as we are now well beyond a mere crisis in matters Constitutional,  you can count on the cowards of the legal profession TO NEVER ADMIT THAT THE CONSTITUTION HAS FAILED, MISERABLY IN THE HANDS OF A THOROUGHLY STUPID, LIKELY SENILE DEMENTED TRUMP.   I have no doubt that behind his insane orders and ranting and attacks on everyone from the most law-abiding average person,  DISABLED VETERANS, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! to those in the federal judiciary and on the Supreme Court,  as he blows through the decisions and orders of federal judges with the impunity that the Republican-fascist congress and the Roberts Court ive him,  they will be pretending that it's all OK because, you know, the Constitutional order is still being propped up like a Potemkin false front of liberal democracy and even on the lesser standard of there still being a republic still covered by the whopper of a lie that it is a country of laws and not men.  

On a related note, it is shocking to me how little is being made of Musk's intel-grab by those who love to freak-out online.   I say that as someone who remembers the furore over the piddling information collected by the NSA, which was stolen by Edward Snowden and, I have no doubt, handed it over to first the Chinese intelligence agency and then to Putins,  how little concerned the same People who irrationally held that Snowden and the liks of Glenn Greenwald were heroes are about Musk, no doubt, now having far more and far more important and sensitive information as stolen by his incel-boy army for him.   It's a hell of a lot more than just the records of who was in contact with who - it was illegal for the NSA to go farther without court orders.   The judges might say they're restricted in what they can collect and what they can do with it - I suspect even the well intentioned judges are as tech-savvy as Chuck Grassley - but I have no doubt that Musk will be doing with the information he's stolen that Snowden did,  sell it for his own profit and purposes.   You can see how really useful the "civil liberties" lawyers and journalists are through that failure.
