I wondered how long it would be before someone used the "Who cut the Chese?" line.

This *does* seem like extremely light sentences. What does "probation" mean? They can't practice? Write an apology letter? Like little kids.

Thx for the link to Vladeck's piece on jawboning. I have a friend who's an anti-vaxxer, pro RFK Jr., who sent me an email about how our civil liberties have been destroyed by the SC giving the Biden Admin temporary relief. I pointed out to him it isn't a final decision, and that the Biden Admin didn't coerce or silence (his wildly exagerated words). Vladeck's piece clarified that the case will come down to the line between persuasion and coercion, where there is retribution for non-compliance in the latter, which there was not, as I understand it.

Thankfully there’s a bit of justice coming! Hope Trump is swearing bullets! Thanks!

Today is Monday October 23 and I am so looking forward to your thoughts after things appear to be shaking out a bit with trumps court cases. I enjoyed your Chesebro piece as always. I read something over the weekend maybe Time Mag or NY Times about Chesebro having clerked for legendary DC judge Gerhard Gesell. And for Lawrence Tribe. His personality and professional efforts seem to change with the wind. One question: with Powell and Chesebro flipping will they pro forma automatically lose their license to practice law (if there is such a thing)? Or they may continue? Grateful for you Asha.
