Hi, welcome back to the dur show just finished watching the end I guess at the confirmation hearings for Justice to be Jackson she will be confirmed with at least 52 or 53 votes

Curious as to whether senator sass will vote for her. He was very very friendly to her, but he's Republican whether or not some of the other senators will vote for him or whether it'll hire whether it would be a straight party line vote. I thought she did extremely well.

I was angry at her for one thing. That's just my particular bias to criminal defense lawyer. She seemed very defensive about the people she represented. Oh, I was assigned to represent the people in Guantanamo. No, I didn't volunteer. I was assigned and when I went to the law firm, a partner picked me to write this brief because I had previously represented somebody from Guantanamo.

What if she had said I volunteered to represent the people of Guantanamo. Yes, they're accused of terrorism, but they're entitled to the facts and I'm proud to have defended them. That's certainly what I would have said. I've been saying it all my life. Yes, I was proud to represent OJ Simpson. I was proud to represent close from below. I was proud to represent all the people I represented half of them on a pro bono basis half of them more than half of them people you've never heard of. That's the job of the criminal defense lawyer.

I guess her handlers in the White House insisted that she be apologetic. No, I don't blame me for my clients. I have no choice. I had to do it. I was assigned. If you're assigned, you're not responsible. I don't have to be assigned. I wasn't assigned to defend President Trump. I did it proudly, despite the fact that I voted against him twice and didn't approve his politics.

Politics didn't approve of his January 6th speech. That doesn't mean I don't defend him. Just like the doctor in emergency board, you don't ask somebody their politics when you decide to give them an x-ray or decide to give them an injection or decide to have surgery in them.

That's what you do. If you're an emergency room doctor, that's what you do. If you're a civil libertarian or a criminal defense lawyer, you don't hang up assigned criminal defense lawyer. Democrat criminal defense lawyer Republican is a famous case in Massachusetts that makes that point.

There was a woman lawyer and she only defended women and she was a matrimony lawyer.

One day, a guy went into her office and wanted to defend women. The guy said, look, you have to understand, in this case, I am like a woman.

Was there a transgender case? Nothing like that. He was a nurse making a couple hundred bucks a week and he was married to a woman who was a surgeon.

She was making hundreds of thousands of dollars and she ran off with another surgeon and he was seeking alimony and he was in the position that most women have been in in similar situations. He put it through medical school.

He worked hard as a nurse to put it through medical school. She gets put through medical school and she leaves him for a surgeon.

So he wanted her to represent because she was a good well-known lawyer and divorce case as she said to only represent women.

So he brought a complaint to the Massachusetts Commission against discrimination. He won.

The Massachusetts Commission and discrimination said, you can be a feminist but you can't be a sexist.

In this case, feminism would have prevailed by him winning even though he was a male. He would have established a principle that would have helped other women.

That's what Justice Ginsburg did when she was a lawyer. She used cases involving men to establish principles that would help women.

It was a brilliant lawyer. She was a very, very good lawyer. I worked with her when she was a lawyer, when she was a professor at Rutgers University.

So you're not a Democrat or a public lawyer. You're not a male or female lawyer. You're not a Jewish or Christian or Muslim lawyer. You're a lawyer. You're a surgeon.

You do your job and your job is to proudly represent your clients, even if you disagree with them, even if you think that they're guilty, even if you think they deserve to be put in prison.

In my case is where I won and I went home at night and I couldn't sleep because I wanted that guy in jail. I wanted to lose, but I did the best I could to win.
