James & Ginger Staake are American artists who started a company to make & sell patriotically-themed flag art. But PayPal decided to mess with their business by taking customer money, & not releasing it to the Staakes, thwarting order completion/delivery. youramericanflagstore.com
2/ so they contacted the Center for American Liberty - - @Liberty_Ctr -- which just sent Paypal a letter detailing legal claims and threatening suit. You can read about it here: libertycenter.org/center-for-ame… and see the letter here: libertycenter.org/wp-content/upl… ...
3/ Should PayPal & its ilk be able to discriminate in the performance of their contractual obligations, tortiously interfere with contracts, and misrepresent their business policies whenever they don't like what the customer is selling, even though they keep taking the money?
4/ If you don't like to see these giant tech companies bully, strangle, & hassle small American entrepreneurs like the Staakes, help @Liberty_Ctr support citizens such as the Staakes today by donating here: libertycenter.org/donate/ -- with your support we can help them fight back!

Hiring thoughts 💭 1/ As a lawyer with over 15 years of hiring & management experience, credentials matter, but only as one factor. I would rather hire the best graduate from a mediocre law school than a middle-achiever from the top 10. A clerkship is a great credential...
2/ Most law graduates do not write well enough for law firm standards/client needs; they have zero training on how to deal with clients/opposing counsel/witnesses. Street smarts & people skills are more important in daily practice than your Intersectional Law of the Sea grade...
3/ These days too many students/young lawyers approach interviews with a "me me me" centered approach, as opposed to "how I can bring my skills/experience/attitude/work ethic to your business and help YOU succeed/take things off your plate." Emotional intelligence is important.

1/ BREAKING -- @dhillonlaw client @jenvanlaar just won her Anti-SLAPP motion v. former Rep. Katie Hill on multiple grounds including First Amendment and clear words of CA's revenge porn statute. Court also denied Hill's belated discovery motion. Attorney fee motion incoming.
2/ Previously, Hill's counsel dismissed their lawsuit against another media client of @dhillonlaw, @joemessina. That attorney fee motion is pending. Kudos to our clients, and my amazing First Amendment/media law colleagues, partner Krista Baughman and counsel Karin Sweigart!
3/ Hill is going to come out with a self-serving narrative, but in court her counsel argued that photos of her smoking a bong and having a three-way (or any way) relationship involving a staffer, was not newsworthy. Also, that our clients are not journalists so no 1A protection.

What with Georgia being #jimcrowonsteroids, how can @CNN, in all good conscience, stay there? There's tons of vacant office space in major American cities made possible by CNN's relentless fearmongering -- time to pick up and move to a state with no voting rules! CA, perhaps?
I hear the @salesforce Tower in San Francisco is pretty open, whoops bad real estate investment there...
Heard @Twitter isn't going to need all its space either, despite all those tax breaks they got...

First, good luck with the recovery. But color me cynical with the timing of this... and whoa nelly, “there might be a laptop and it might be Russian disinformation”? @twitter and a few thousand journos and politicos owe the @nypost a big & profuse apology for their defamation.
2/ They also owe an apology & perhaps a few thousand retractions to all the Trump supporters and journalists & even the Trump campaign itself for the accounts that were taken down for sharing @nypost “disinformation.” The Biden family and handlers knew all this and let it happen.
3/ They let the media print lies about half the country, let those lies help affect an election, almost certainly had a strong hand in pushing the lies, and are now using an addiction narrative as a shield to get out ahead of coming calls for accountability...

The vaccine passport idiocy is taking off b/c for the past year, Justice Roberts has allowed the fed courts to turn away hundreds of Constitutional & legal challenges to COVID government overreach in the name of emergency powers. This is the civil right crisis of our time.
In the last year, I appeared before federal judges in several states from HI to CA to VA to NJ. One after the other they gaveled down challenges to the blocking of prayer, protect, small business, schools, outdoor sports — even beaches! — despite the dearth of science to back it.
3/ At @Liberty_Ctr my year and that of many other attorneys was an extended triage to determine which of thousands of civil rights violations was the worst. Was it the violations of the constitutional requirements for how we make voting laws? Or ..

Is genocide a cultural norm? Asking for a few hundreds of millions of friends.
How about gang rape of Uighur women chained up in concentration camps? A "cultural norm"?
Is telling Tibet's Buddhists that Beijing will decide who the next Dalai Lama is, a "cultural norm"?
