I am permitted to provoke reaction under FR Rule BR-549
I was thinking - imagine MOM defending someone we hated. Criminal lawyers do defend scumbags sometimes.

I know exactly what you’re saying. I’ve been puzzling over that too.
Through some liberal friends in faraway Kaliforniastan, we met a guy who happens to be a trial lawyer (primarily criminal defense). We’ve interacted socially, I’ve been running with him, that sort of thing.
Although we have NEVER discussed politics, I am sure he is capital-L liberal. But he’s intelligent, personable, and (sue me for saying it) kind of “caring”. Like we Christians ought to be, although I’m fairly sure he’s not one of us. Iow A genuine “good guy”.
I’m not often afflicted with cognitive dissonance, being the confident arrogant rightwing a-hole that I am. But that dude provokes a bit of it. Can’t figure out why, exactly.
O’Mara and West are the same sort.
Best I can figure, while I don’t like fire ants, buzzards, or dung beetles, they still have a role in the Master’s Plan...
