The Challenge

Next, I respect the work of Harold Koh at Yale and always have. He is a thoughtful scholar. Third, I have not seen the actual final agreements negotiated and signed by the cratering Orange Shoe firms; I do not know if Professor Koh has. But, I know this: wise lawyers/law professors do not comment on agreements that they have not seen and analyzed; nor can I recite the negotiations that took place in reaching the agreements, the details of which impact coerciveness and duress and consideration and illegality (by the capitulating law firms).

I am finding it very very hard to swallow that the cratering law firms (with their plentiful legal talent) signed their agreements with the President under duress/coercion as defined by law and accepted contract doctrine.

If anything, the cratering law firms (that many are calling the Orange Shoe firms) committed legal wrongs that may well be sanctionable and actionable under state and federal law (including ethical violations).
