"I believe in forced labor"

Go for it; I think it'd be interesting to have lawyers fighting for the Constitution (13th amd in this case) and against the judicial tyranny for once.

Obama + Republican Leadership + a Congress that believes that it (and government in general) is above the law.

Maybe we need fewer laws and more personal responsibility, and longer sentences. Fewer Wide Latinas too.

Pro-Bono is the cult of the social justice warriors. The infrastructure is all in place for 90% of lawyers to fall into left-wing, government-sponsored causes.

What is that thing called where one person owns another person’s body?
