HL 88 – Federer’s Trump-like Attempt to Destroy the Davis Cup

How can we possibly compare Roger to Donald – despite the former being more lovely and temperate?  Let HL count a few ways and with all apologies to W. Shakespeare, E.B. Browning and K. Cobain. […]

HL 87 – At Any Time For Any Reason

Most lawyers and teachers of law know and have a responsibility to explain to others that lots of pure hogwash, pretending to be law, is being stated over and over again during the impeachment hearings. Two, stated ad nauseum, and particularly pernicious, because the repetition apparently has gotten some who should know better to repeat them, are that circumstantial evidence is not admissible and probative and that a President can fire “at will” government officials “at any time for any reason.” […]

HL 86 – Enter the Chief

Chief Justice John Roberts is about to emerge as a major player and possibly the closer in the last perilous year – give or hopefully take a few months – of the Trump presidency.  There is a slight bit of ambiguity and doubt in the prediction.  The Greatest Closer had failures to say nothing of his allowing Trump to exploit him.  That despite Trump’s constant slurs of Latino immigrants like him. […]

HL 85 – Republicans That Continue To Support Trump Do So Because He Is A Criminal Not In Spite Of It

Those surprised by the tiny proportion of Republicans abandoning Trump in the wake of the Ukrainian week that was, would be wise to revisit his January 23, 2016 observation about the loyalty of his base.  Trump’s insight, since paraphrased, embellished and diluted bears precise quotation: […]

HL 84 – I Won’t Forget That Once I was that Asian Kid Applying to Schools

The admissions policies of elite schools are under attack, including in court, for discriminating against Asian-American applicants.  In the Harvard case, awaiting decision in a federal district court in Boston, the document that paints a thousand pictures is one from a Harvard admissions officer commenting that a first in class Asian applicant with perfect SAT scores is “the proverbial picket fence.”  The applicant was not admitted.  De facto quotas imposed on these minority applicants from “communities of color” are ironically rationalized with the goal of diversity and inclusion. […]

HL 83 – Hopelessly Liberal The U.S. Open Addition

Possibly you are a fan of tennis but did not go to Flushing Meadows for more than 100 hours of the recently concluded U.S. Open, as HL did.  If so, this post is for you. Among the things prominent tennis press and commentators uniformly stated pre-tournament was that the Open would be: […]

HL 82 – The David Boies/Alan Dershowitz War Implicates Things Far More Important Than Their Egos

HL has recently asked himself “self, how can lefties like you beatify lawyers who represent Gitmo prisoners pro bono but sneer at other sisters and brothers at the bar (sometimes they are the same) for taking money from Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Cosby, Kevin Spacey and Asia Argento to defend them.

HL 81 – For Democratic Candidates Obama Becomes What Reagan is for Republicans

How many times have we heard Republican candidates for elective office invoke Ronald Reagan as their hero, inspiration and justification for a policy that Reagan never backed, would not have supported, or clearly had opposed? […]

HL 80 – Stoned by Toni: Theatre Reparations Continued

HL 73 “Reparations in the Theatre World” commented on current conventions and unwritten but ignored, at peril, Rules that prevail in the legitimate theatrical and cinema worlds.  The Rules, de facto, constitute an informal regime of reparations for discrimination and other injustice done to racial minorities in those industries. […]

HL 79 – National Polls Confirm that Gillibrand and de Blasio are Zeroes

Results of the first NBC/WSJ national poll of Americans who say they will vote in next year’s primary elections confirm that Democrats in all 50 states have learned what New Yorkers have known for quite awhile: Kirsten Gillibrand and Bill de Blasio are zeroes.  They each failed to gain one percent support in the poll where Biden, Warren, Sanders, Harris and Buttigieg registered 26%, 19%, 13%, 13% and 7% respectively.
