[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hard to feel bad for big law.[/quote]

Especially since BigLaw spent every minute of the Biden administration challenging every regulation and attacking the legitimacy of basically every independent agency. [/quote]

Wtf?? I am at a fed regulator and I know this is normal - we issue rules and they get challenged, biglaw represents some of the industry litigants. That's the normal process of judicial review.

The government playing favorites and punishing private actors who have not done anything unlawful is unprecedented and scary.[/quote]

The past four years were not normal. Everything got challenged, including the constitutionality of every agency and administrative process, and the lawsuits were particularly over-the-top in their vitriol. And the overwhelming majority were filed in one circuit. Nothing about that was normal. If you've been a fed regulator for more than four years, you should understand how atypical all of this was.

And don’t know.  Lawfare has become the norm on both sides for a while now.  We are certainly seeing a ton from Dem AGs now, just as we saw the opposite the last four years.  And I don’t think any of these folks are going to file in the 5th, so let’s not pretend forum shopping isn’t equal opportunity.[/quote]

There's no circuit remotely comparable to the 5th in terms of forum shopping for Dems.[/quote]
