Paul Krugman, Nobel Prize-winning economist, warns that Donald Trump’s victory in this week’s presidential election could trigger “economic chaos” and damage the nation’s Social Security programs.
Krugman failed to mention how Trump’s election will cause the unemployment rate to shoot up as hundreds of Lawfare attorneys lose their jobs. One economist, speaking anonymously because of the sensitivity of the topic, estimates that Lawfare generated 19 percent of last year’s GNP as thousands of Ivy League attorneys sued or prosecuted Donald Trump. “Donald Trump’s election throws all those lawyers out of work,” the economist warned. “Also, high-end restaurants in New York and Washington DC will likely lose a quarter of their business.”
Jack Smith, who was prosecuting Trump in the District of Columbia, will probably quit before Trump fires him. The House Judiciary Committee accused Alvin Bragg of violating Trump’s constitutional rights. Marc Elias, an expert in political campaign law, is reportedly devastated by the election outcome. Friends say Elias may be forced to euthanize Bode, his Portuguese Water Dog, because Elias can no longer afford to feed his beloved pet.
Fortunately, Trump appointed me to his Executive Transition Team and charged me with designing a plan to minimize the economic disruption to the Lawfare industry. Here’s my plan.
Shortly after Trump is inaugurated, the federal government will create a new law school in Alaska, the only state that doesn’t have one. The new school will be located on the lovely Aleutian island of Adak, about 4500 miles from the nation’s capital.
I will offer all unemployed Lawfare attorneys a tenured professor’s position at the Adak School of Law. I’ve already contacted Jack Smith and offered him the Dean’s position. I hope Letitia James will agree to be the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Bullshit Litigation.
Under my proposed plan, I’ll advise Trump to grant amnesty to every Lawfare lawyer who agrees to join the faculty at the Adak law school. As for the miscreants who refuse, I think Trump should report them to the various bar associations for disbarment proceedings for using the civil and criminal justice systems for the unethical purpose of advancing political agendas.
Letitia James: New VP for DEI?
