Greed must explain enthusiasm to represent president
Classroom analogy took President Trump to school
The Thursday Metro column “Good news, kids! Now you decide what your grades are, not your teachers!” by Theodore Decker was pretty clever. It depicted a young student's quest to achieve an “A” using the Donald Trump method.
How decent, hardworking and otherwise sensible people can continue to support and defend the abhorrent and mendacious behavior of Trump is a conundrum wrapped up in an enigma. Allegiance to political party and one's willingness to wear a blindfold can only go so far!

I am a retired attorney and was involved only in environmental law. Nevertheless, I wonder why those attorneys, sure to make a lot of money, can agree to represent President Donald Trump and his team to file lawsuits in several states, alleging fraud and other actions where voting has defeated him.
In essence, such lawsuits would assume that only Democrats could take such actions. In filings, the president's counsels would have to provide enough truth to what they argue that a judge would accept for hearing on the bench. I heard, just the other day, that post-electorate lawsuits filed by those who lost are only PR gimmicks with costs of filing.
I am embarrassed that so many highlevel lawyers would jump for the chance. And, by the way, who will be paying the costs of filing such legal arguments? The public? I would guess so.
It's nothing that a fully ethical attorney would agree to take.
