This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

Fun fact: Nancy Mace is trying to censure me over comments I never said.
Her res does not contain a single quote from me because she couldn’t find any.
Unlike her, I have routinely condemned political violence, no matter the political ideology.

Truly, we are at a moment when we need organizations — the ABA, ALI, law firms, law schools — speaking out.
As Judge Coughenour said, “There are other times in world history where we look back and people of goodwill can say where were the judges, where were the lawyers?”
It’s time for the lawyers.
