Again you have highlighted the importance of intellectual curiosity, courage of your convictions and the reality that a cohesive unified approach allows the whole to be greater than the sum of its parts. The maxim that the chain is only as strong as its weakest link has been proven in today’s governance in the USA.
To Robert Reich's point, it is almost impossible to credit how much has happened in the space of 10 weeks and how 'at risk' we now are... all of the guard rails of the first Trump Administration are long gone now ...
If Big Law continues to knuckle under, the jig may be up. That might be my biggest shock of them all.
And to think that as Authoritarian's go, Donald Trump is actually incredibly weak and incompetent.... 8 votes in the Senate and 8 more in the House of Representatives would make all the difference in the world. If the stock market continues to fall, I assume those votes will soon come ..
Thanks Stewart. I agree completely. You'll appreciate this.

Or as the children of the aristocracy used to say, "Hold very tight to nurse for fear of getting someone worse."
