I, and members of my firm, as well as most trial lawyers with whom I associate, are all proud to be a part of the 450 year common law tradition of protecting the rights of individuals from the harm of others and the impression or oppressions of government. We, and are ancestors in the law, are the last line between the citizen and agencies of government who hope to gain its own way even if the rights, privileges and immunities of person due constitutional protection are breached.

Similarly, none of us respect those few of our misguided brethren who have abused the law in their attemps to transform it from a helping profession into a craven business that places the generation of revenue above the welfare of those whom we have sworn our oaths to represent before the courts.

Like us, don't like us, no matter; many people share that disdain until they need one of us to protect their rights. Don't forget, a few years ago FR was in a world of copyright hurt and it was a fine lawyer in LA who protected this forum.

You need rest.

Fine. But remember that Bork basically exposed himself as a complete fraud with his op-ed articles in support of the Justice Department lawsuit against Microsoft.
