(Thread 1/3): Joined @JacquiHeinrich and @ChristopherHahn on @FoxNews today to discuss the @WhiteHouse doubling down on censorship and @JoeBiden saying #Facebook is killing people. This is unconstitutional, it violates the #FirstAmendment, and it needs to stop.
(2/3): Any lawyer will tell you the remedy for speech you don’t agree with is more speech. The government certainly does not have a monopoly on truthful speech.
(3/3): @NYGovCuomo is a serial abuser and a sexual harasser. How could this be politically motivated if these are his own democratic staffers? Frankly, he needs to resign not only for this but for killing people in New York with his unwise policies.

(Thread 1/4): With @Varneyco on @FoxBusiness - This political hit job against @POTUS45 is the kind of third world nonsense we see in countries like #Pakistan where former presidents are taken down using petty offenses. Well beneath the dignity of New York prosecutorial offices.
(2/4): #Arizona's voting limits do not violate the voting rights act nor do they hurt minorities. Ballot harvesting hurts every #American equally. The 9th circuit got this one wrong. I am thrilled to see this victory for #Election integrity.
(3/4): #Florida's social media law was struck down in part because of vague language. I found the exceptions for Florida based companies like @Disney and @comcast to be a little dubious. With some more work and wordsmithing this could become a great law.

(Thread 1/4): With @TuckerCarlson on @FoxNews tonight - Our government regularly flouts modern security laws established in 1947 & since. They justify spying on #Americans in the name of targeting foreigners and classifying any #American data they scoop up as “incidental”.
(2/4): Under current law, the @NSAGov can go shopping through a treasure trove of phone company data w/little oversight. Once they have your information, faceless, unelected bureaucrats are free to pass it around the office
(3/4): Even if you can prove you are being spied on, there is no legal recourse. No lawsuits against the @NSAGov have effectively been successful in stopping the spying on a particular #American citizen. Cases can last for over a decade.

Many lawyers have publicly states that “Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself.” That is a comment on the administration of justice in New York. Should a lawyer be subject to bar sanctions for challenging the state’s position? #RudyGiuliani
Some lawyers have said John McAfee didn’t kill himself — is that disbarrable? It’s a comment on the administration of criminal justice involving US federal charges.
Some lawyers are arguing regarding January 6 that their clients are innocent while the government claims they are guilty. If the clients are convicted, or the facts advanced not accepted, should the lawyers be disbarred? Suspended while the bar figured it out?

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?

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.
