So proud of @Fenwick's work with @LawyersComm to get this important result--working hard to reign in restrictions on voting from GA SB202.
Praise to Justice Stephen Breyer. In accepting the ABA Medal, from the group “with 250,000 members and 300,000 committees,” he notes proudly that “we always hope to arc towards justice.” @ABAesq

Also, the right advice is still "breathe."
This is going to come down to a count, not a court.

I joined with many former Chairs of @ABALitigation to submit a letter to @washingtonpost condemning the President's attack on Judge Amy Berman Jackson. Protecting judicial independence is not a partisan cause; @SenSchumer's comments were equally wrong. wapo.st/39qLCcB
“The truth still exists; the truth still matters,” says Judge “ABJ,” and that is bedrock for the rule of law. thedailybeast.com/roger-ston… #judicialIndependence
At Roger Stone sentencing, Judge Jackson nails it: “The dismay and disgust at any attempt to interfere with the efforts of prosecutors and members of the judiciary to fulfill their duty should transcend party.” #JudicialIndependence @ABALitigation washingtonpost.com/local/pub…
21 former @ABALitigation Section Chairs join (in our individual capacities) in Letter to @wapo defending Judge Jackson against President's attack: "Delegitimizing the judiciary threatens the core of our democracy. We must call it out, and it must stop." ow.ly/XyDt50yoSAS

"The personal attacks on judges and prosecutors must cease. No one, no one, should interfere with the adminstration of justice, and no one, no one, should have to live in fear for upholding the Constitution of the United States."
