1. Violent Thugs Want Surrender and Endorsement
Sun Feb 1, 2026, 07:45 AM

MAGAt politicians want ethical people out of their way, so I wonder about the tactic of high-level attorneys resigning in protest perhaps to be replaced by MAGA loyalists. Maybe remain on the job, collect a government paycheck, and simultaneously, ethically protest by dragging your feet?

Remain in that powerful legal position to block efforts by Republicans to MAGAtize that lawyer job?

Fleeing to private practice instead of standing up as an officer of the court is not a choice I would make, but I’m not in their shoes. I just read and hear of resignations and not (yet) one lawyer publicly stating he/she will stay on the job despite being pressured to perform unethical and perhaps illegal actions.

Stand up for the law and profession as an outsider sees it.
