The Good in Us by Mary L. Trump

By Mary L Trump

In which we come together to save American democracy, or at least have fun while trying.

Even if she is the only person known who has successfully escaped being drawn into the Orange Hole (pun on black hole with notes of asshole). Undoubtedly, she was never in any danger, but must be uncomfortable to have a megalomanic for an unclose. She is the singular focus to help guide democracy to a safe landing on January 20, 2025.

Original Jurisdiction

By David Lat

News, views, and colorful commentary about law and the legal profession.

Many of the pubs that I read are for news junkies. OJ is for legal news junkies and has a great scope of coverage of all things legal, including, but not limited to, the business of law, as well as exciting developments in the law as it is being ironed out.
