Fancy big law firm decides shilling for fascism not worth the headache
By 
If you make any association with Donald Trump toxic enough you can get things like this:
The largest law firm representing the Trump campaign or its allies in post-election litigation challenging votes in key states has withdrawn from an election lawsuit in Maricopa County, Arizona.
Associate Presiding Civil Judge Daniel Kiley on Tuesday granted Snell & Wilmer’s request to withdraw as counsel of record for the Republican National Committee. The RNC had teamed-up with the Trump campaign and the Arizona Republican Party in the case, which alleges that Maricopa County incorrectly rejected some votes cast on Election Day.
Snell & Wilmer partners Brett Johnson and Eric Spencer first moved to withdraw on Sunday, a day after the case was filed. Johnson and Spencer did not respond to requests for comment. Snell & Wilmer chairman Matthew Feeney said the firm doesn’t comment on its client work.
Two other large law firms that have represented the Trump campaign in election litigation, Jones Day and Porter Wright Morris & Arthur, have faced an onslaught of online criticism this week from critics who say the cases erode confidence in the democratic process, sparked by a Monday New York Times story focused on the firms’ roles.
It would be an unambiguously good thing if every lawyer in the country refused to represent Donald Trump or the RNC — a distinction without a difference, despite Jones Day’s absurd attempt at face-saving via jesuitical hairsplitting — in any civil actions related to the election.
Nobody has a “right” to have lawyers file frivolous lawsuits for them, especially when the purpose of al that legal frivolity is to destroy liberal democracy. Individual lawyers who work on these cases should be shunned and shamed, as should the firms that employ them.
