Read Rebuke Resist
We've demeaned them over the years. We've ridiculed them. We've made the butts of our jokes. And yes, we've even said that a hundred of them chained to the bottom of the ocean would be a "good start."
We've quoted Shakespeare out of context to suggest killing them all to solve a crisis.
Yes, I'm talking about attorneys, lawyers, counselors, ambulance chasers, Perry Masons.
Where are we today? The takeover of Germany by the Nazis in the 1930s is being replayed on the streets of America. The clowns have taken over the circus. As my late friend Gary "Doc" Toler said, "It's a different picture in a different frame." Despair settles on us like a freezing fog. Where shall we turn?
In one of those strange circumstances History plays upon us now and then, we scream for help. Who hears us? Who will man the ramparts? Who will pull us safe from the onslaught of fascism?
A band of brave lawyers, that's who. Let's resist the madness by supporting them.
