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

It’s not about feeling “bad” for big law. It’s the deterioration of our fundamental rules of law. If our president is going after law firms based on who they represent we are not far off from full dictatorship. [/quote]

They are hardcore Trump voters. Who cares?[/quote]

This is not true. I don’t know a single associate or law firm partner at my V10 firm who has admitted  to voting for Trump. If they are, they are silent because they know better. However, many of us have also been outspokenly anti-Trump since he arrived onto the political scene.

At the same time, I don’t feel bad for law firms either. They are plenty capable of defending themselves and hopefully they do something useful against Trump and his cronies. [/quote]

This, and this includes Republican lawyers I know who used to raise money for people like Romney and McCain, vigorously defend the conservatives on the court, etc.

They are conservative but not stupid, so they aren't Trump supporters. The more educated you are, the less likely you are to vote for him. The ones I know care a lot about tradition, democratic norms, and foreign policy. They are traditional Republicans who hate Putin. They are horrified.

My Republican Big Law friends feel abandoned by the party thanks to Trump. Many of them changed their party affiliation to Independent when J6 happened, it was the final straw. I know several who donated a lot of money to Nikki Haley's campaign. I know many who voted for Harris through gritted teeth and held noses because voting for Trump was not an option and they knew abstaining altogether was a cop out.[/quote]
