Ignominy Writ Large

Robert Reich reports: “504 firms rightfully declare that Trump’s attack on law firms poses ‘a grave threat to our system of constitutional governance and to the rule of law itself. . . Not a single one of the nation’s top 20 firms by revenue have signed on — including Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins, Gibson Dunn, and Sullivan & Cromwell. Nor did Skadden Arps, which recently struck a deal with Trump to avoid an executive order.’

What remarkable consistency. The firms that are the best at making money are the worst at serving the public interest.
