I saw Katyal speak once where he talked about representing Guantanamo detainees and his thesis was essentially that everyone deserves the best representation. I definitely agree with that and then how this essay highlights the separation of lawyer from the rapist/murder in the criminal context. I think I’ve mentioned before how I’ve got a cousin that is a PD doing way too much hard work for way too little pay. Much respect for that.
However, this essay is 100% on point that it’s absurd to apply that same principle to representing fucking Nestle when you’re Neal Katyal making ~$1k/hr.

I’d never criticize any criminal defense lawyer for defending a client, even the worst murderer or Epstein or whoever. Even the best connected, richest defendant’s power is dwarfed by a prosecution. No need to extend that principle to defending giant corporations for slavery, the only principle involved is the cash going to Neil’s bank account.

Scary thing is that right wing conspiracy nut jobs think that youtube is radicalizing the left. I’ve seen right wingers recommend watching The Social Dilemma and the takeaway was basically that youtube is melting minds by pushing liberal agendas.

I’m with ya! I love a strongly worded letter. (sincerely)
A high school friend who was always into astrology type New Age shit is now a flat earth die hard Christian who is some sort of sovereign citizen but apparently different enough from a sovereign citizen that he laughs at them. All from hours and hours of Youtube.
