THREAD: Yesterday @EdWhelanEPPC defended Judge Schlitz for not recusing in ICE cases even though he is publicly listed as a donor to Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. @HarmeetKDhillon called him out. 1/
2/ Ed quoted from a section of the Compendium § 4.2-3(g)), a federal appellate judge shared with him that stated: “A judge may contribute financially to legal service associations that provide counsel for the poor. A judge need not recuse merely because lawyers who accept appointments by such associations are also counsel of record in cases before that judge.”
3/ @HarmeetKDhillon correctly pointed out that language is out-of-context & cherry picked & ignores other canons. Before explaining, let me provide some background so you can judge the analysis. For at least 6 (possibly 8) years, my federal appellate judge tasked me as sole

3/ approached from front without gun drawn. Things changed in split second when she put in drive & accelerated at and then hit ICE agent. ICE agent wasn't merely legally justified, but he lacked time to make a different choice, even if earlier he might have made different choice
THREADETTE: Here's the important backstory to this miracle drug so folks don't learn the wrong lesson: The reason this miracle drug came into being is because pharma companies saw a huge payout, with the list price being $300,000. 1/
2/And just so you know, I have skin in the game…flesh of my flesh that skin is.
3/ The miracle of Trifakta has an even more effective next-gen version, Alyftrek, on the right. But even with that $300,000 price tag, drug never would have been but for the CF Foundation dumping millions into research to a small biotech company that would later become Vertex
