CNBC has updated the story to add further bloviation from Eastman’s attorneys. Of course, they did a magnificent job of dragging great legal minds in to confuse the issue with massive both-siderism:
“Criminalization of unpopular legal theories is against every American tradition and would have ended the careers of John Adams, Ruth Ginsburg, Thurgood Marshall and many other now-celebrated American lawyers,” the statement said. Adams was the second president of the United States, while Ginsburg and Marshall were Supreme Court justices who helped establish new legal precedents with their work during the civil rights movement.
“We ask all interested observers of any political persuasion to join us in decrying this troubling development,” Burnham and Silverglate wrote.
Yup, legal theories supporting equality and personal privacy were unpopular and, therefore, just as bad as a fake legal theory to allow a coup to overturn a national election.
Yup, great sound clips for #ucker Carlson to spew to viewers who will nod there heads and “yup” tonight.
