Two days ago they were staying in to hurt Bernie. Now that they are leaving, it's for the same reason.

JFC.

Edit: to be fair, Klobuchar is pretty clear about her Biden support. But this pretty much exposes the mindlessness of the "staying in" argument.

Tbh, I know some prosecutors I'd consider progressive. But they went out of their way to join "ethical" offices that exercise discretion in the cases they take. I like beating people up in court, but that's part of the reason I avoided prosecution-its corrosive if wins matter more than justice.

Although I'm skeptical of what can really be done, I'm actually pretty defensive of "progressive" prosecutors in that I think the alternative is ceding the enforcement of laws to right-wing dick bags and careerist hacks. If you can commit to not hiding evidence, railroading clients, and carrying water for pigs, I say do you. And I also think BigLaw is oftentimes fundamentally more immoral.

But that meme makes me lol.

If I become a lawyer I don’t think I could do the family law or will stuff, I doubt I’d network well enough at school to end up in white collar corporate stuff so that really leaves criminal. Maybe I’m lucky but the two prosecutor offices I’ve interacted with in my lifetime the prosecutors get a great deal of discretion on how to charge and move their cases.
 
There’s a bill in the Utah state congress going through the chambers to make it impossible to prosecute kids under 12 for anything barring select like assaults, sex offenses, and like murder.

I get the reasoning but I also worry too.

Eh, there's a ton of space between all that. Lots of attorneys at smaller shops that do stuff besides family/wills/crim. I'm at a smaller "biglaw" place. We sit across from anyone from NYC/Chicago megafirms to local shops with low-six figure disputes. Some PI/PL stuff, some contract stuff, some regulatory work, etc.

@Trotsky I don't know if there's anything inherent to biglaw that makes it more immoral than private practice generally. Maybe some types of clients, I guess, or some strategies that only work on larger scales? Less so on an individual practice level, anyways. Anecdotally, I haven't noticed a big difference.

I think my interest in the criminal stuff is because I’ve been involved in it for almost 7 years now between Juvenile crimes and adult felonies so I already half understand all of it

Zeleny's right that it shows a triviality of character to frivolously make serious allegations and make no effort to back them up.

BigLaw is generally representing institutional clients for big money.

Representing corporate polluters, big banks foreclosing on homes, employers and industrial cartels busting unions, corporations trying to reduce their tax rates, and the like is, in my opinion, much, much more immoral than, say, a criminal defense firm or a plaintiff's personal injury firm.
 
Klobuchar is out now... looks like Trump was right. Removing moderates so Biden gets a push
