Lawyers and legal scholars: we have to figure out if it is even possible to operate ethically in a legal system controlled by Republican Fascists. We can’t just practice as if that isn’t so. 2/ #LawFedi

Lawyers and legal scholars will want to help those imperiled by the very legal system that menaces them. But using that legal system risks legitimating it, thereby making it stronger. 3/

Lawyers and legal scholars must look to those practitioners and thinkers who used and wrote about the law when the legal system was itself lawless - in no way committed to law as a way of serving the general welfare or justice. Think apartheid era South Africa, Nazi Germany. 4/
