However, IF the facts are as claimed in the editorial, it’s definitely hypocrisy on the part of Judge Bork.
And hypocrisy when it comes to the law is the last thing we need.

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.

That's a conservative source. When facts are so easy to verify now, why would you think the NY Times Editorial Board would make things up? This is not some lame reporter. It's the stories that they ignore that's their usual trick as a general rule.
