AKA: the fast track to setting disbarred and sanctioned.

You can smell the desperation from here. Have to wonder if any of these fresh graduates are wondering about what long-term damage they may be doing to their professional reputation. How hirable will you be if the first few years of your law career you were were laughed out of every Court because you were trying to defend a historically unpopular administration?

I think resigning in protest does more harm than good in the long run. They just replace you with a loyalist or an incompetent. Don't do their job for them. Make them fire you.

typically you avoid people long in the tooth of thier career if you need vice-grip control over your subordinates. these freshies, probates, pledges, strykers and cannon fodder, will be stood up to scapegoat and rotated out for inner circle members who will solve the newbie generated failure, to great accolades
