The line "The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers" is from Shakespeare's play Henry VI, Part 2, and is often misunderstood. In the play, it is spoken by a rebel leader who wants to create anarchy, implying that lawyers are obstacles to chaos because they uphold the law and social order. The quote is now seen as an acknowledgment of the crucial role lawyers play in maintaining the rule of law and protecting individual rights from tyranny.
"We are in the middle of one of the brightest stretches in months. In fact, I feel more optimistic about the future of our constitutional democracy than I have any time since November 5, 2024."
That's been my sense of things in recent weeks. Let's hope it can be sustained.
