Tonight, John speaks of his former practice of law as though he was… a drone, when he practiced. An automaton. A widget.

He was no such thing. He (based on my own first hand knowledge) specifically shunned clients that didn’t want to represent. [Strip club owners, as one example that vividly stands out in my mind.]

No, he (and, candidly, I both) generally chose/choose whom we will (or will not) represent.

But when the Salutatorian of NY’s City University, College of Law proposed that she and her graduating classmates should do the same last week, the frothy hard right, and Hinderaker… had conniption fits.

On top of it though, he labels any opposition to the hard right factions in Israel… as antisemitism. Poppycock.

As the Salutatorian did, one can oppose Bebe on principles, and still believe firmly in the better dream that is Israel (or what she at least could be), post 1945.

Again, Hinderaker is the one vainly trying to tell people how they are allowed to think, even down to insisting that bright lawyers must take every miscreant that walks into the lobby, as a client.

What a sad, deluded old cuss he’s degenerated into.
