Entering 2021, our hearts are already broken.

That's exactly why we're ready to fight the good fight

And let me say this WADR in response to understandably heartbroken, frustrated and passionate people suggesting that I'm an easy touch, a RINO, naive, or insufficiently dedicated to conservatism: >
These remarks come up not only in response to my video saying that we must remember and live by the principles we say we're fighting for, but to my tweets saying that Lin Wood has lost touch with reality or that John Roberts is not being blackmailed. >
I've been a conservative activist since I was a teenager. The announcements for conservative events I was running were torn off the walls at Princeton in the 80's. Interviewers at law firms recommended that I not be extended an offer because the Federalist Society was Nazis. >
More recently I left one law firm partnership after being told I could not represent the Gab social media platform after it the representation been approved up and down the org chart and on the eve of filing.

People might say we were Nazis. >
The next law firm promised that would never ever happen with them.

They fired me without severance after I filed this lawsuit working with @Yoder_Esqq, who lost his job over it too. https://t.co/3ZgE6PWQGh >
This November I made myself available to the @TheRepLawyer to assist with election monitoring and litigation, as I had in 2016.

Despite my seniority and experience I was sent to Scranton to watch them segregate invalid mail in ballots. That was the assignment and I did it. >
That night - Election Night - they told me to go home because there was nothing else to do.

Wisely, my partner @pnjaban told me to go to Philadelphia instead, where I stood with @PamBondi and @CLewandowski_ as we tried to get into the Convention Center. https://t.co/QMg2GTXOEs
I took this picture then. That's not me sitting on the floor, it's the unsung hero Jerome Marcus, literally writing the federal lawsuit that ended up getting belated and virtually useless access to the counting later that night.

Everything was done on the fly.>
I was then told to report to the main operations center for the Trump / RNC legal team in an undisclosed location in an outlying area of Philadelphia - after I got someone to disclose it to me, which took an hour. >
There I took calls from people reporting election irregularities and wrote them up, as I did in 2016.

Then I transcribed voice mails into a spreadsheet for a while. >
At some point after dinnertime when Corey came in to give us a pep talk, someone pulled me aside and asked me to speak to a lawyer in a major form in DC to discuss a special project.

This resulted in my being connected ultimately to another team. >
That team was led by @RudyGiuliani. We spoke several times. I worked through the night preparing a set of papers based on our discussions.

I was unable to continue working with the team over the weekend because of personal commitments, but we were in touch over the next days. >
Ultimately @pnjaban and I were asked to get involved in a couple of different levels in the various efforts taking place in the courts on behalf of the campaign and we decided against it.

We both remained very involved in messaging for the Trump team.>
Everything @pnjaban and I did for the reelection of @realDonaldTrump was unpaid. Harmeet donated many many hundreds of hours (but her advice was seldom taken, hence the circus that emerged). Other lawyers in our firm also traveled and donated time. >
What's my point?

Don't lecture me about activism, going to marches or calling out fools and con men on Twitter.

Everyone knows I'm friendly with @BrianTh37895972 and that I quote Thomas Wictor (and he me). But there's a limit to informed and even silly or playful speculation. >
I admit what I don't know and when I'm wrong.

And I will also say when something sounds ridiculous or the rules of proving an assertion have been turned inside out.

I've been a litigator and trial lawyer for 30 years. >
If you can't handle it you don't have to follow me, but if you doubt my loyalty, commitment or analytical ability - much less mouth off via some fake name and a picture of your damn dog -

why, I'm going to be pretty sore about it.

Good Shabbos. <> https://t.co/U0wbs6EzCV

This is what he wants to do.

No matter how this trial plays out, the US will remain divided between those who choose truth, Democracy, and rule of law and the millions who reject these things.

The question is how to move forward.

My mantra is that there are no magic bullets and these people will always be with us.

Except for state legislatures, they have less power now than they have for a while.

The only real and lasting solutions are political ones. Get Democrats into local offices. Get people who want democracy to survive to the polls at every election, at every level.

It’s a constant battle.

Maybe I should tell you all about Thurgood Marshall’s life to illustrate how hard the task is and how there will be backlash after each step of progress.

Precisely. That's why Thurgood Marshall's life came to mind.

We are still riding the backlash that started after the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education.

That's why I keep saying there are no easy

1. Facts are different from opinions. But stating an opinion can imply a fact.

Here I am calling Arron Banks a racist (opinion). Pointing out this is because he called for mosques to be demolished (fact). 4/


I can prove this fact - and others - about what Banks has said. And I can justify why in my opinion that shows he’s a racist. 5/
