I Am NOT Going To Link Them — But Hinderaker Seems To Think State Actors Suppressing Speech At Lawfirms, On Content… Is Cool.

While I was skiing, it seems Hinderaker fell into the MAGA “rabbit hole” about law firms, and the preznit hisself suppressing the content of the firms’ speech and selected clients (both pro bono, and full-fare!).

Hinderaker is fine with the government telling lawyers whom they may represent, and whom they may not — by direct executive orders, calling the firms out by name.

That is verboten, under Amendment One. And of course, Trump’s orders here are wholly-impotent. [But it is fascinating that Jones Day was NOT called out, after making huge donations to Trump 2024. Fascinating — even though that firm has most of the same “DEI themed content pages” on its website.]

But… yeh: John likes his… 1930s German governance. So be it.

He’s also spent time on a series of truly batsh!t conspiracy theories advanced by MAGA folk — endorsing them all. As I say, they are so laughable… I’ll say no more about them. [He’s gone ’round the bend, particularly — on the Biden pardon coo-coo stuff.]

So all in all — just… Tuesday, over at Powerline, for the boys.

H I L A R I O U S.

Now, do watch how some DoJ lawyers are held in contempt in federal court for thwarting federal orders (on Venezuela flight obstructionists, in particular). This will be a fun week.

Damn.
