for anyone who lived through this period in NYC, and anyone who didn't, this is a brilliant idea for a book, about not just Goetz but the whole social racial brew of the mid-80s; and Elliot Williams is just the man to carry the idea through. I'll really be looking forward to it.
Allright then. Just want to point out that Ted Boutrous is one of the premier litigators in the county and totally knows his stuff, including this issue, so he's not just whistlin' Dixie (is that an insulting phrase? Joyce Alene ?)
Judge Kaplan did a good job at keeping Trump and his lawyer to the relative straight & narrow, n/w/stg lots of provocations by them. The key was having established the ground rules in advance. Looking forward to discussing on All In with Chris Hayes and former judge Nancy Gertner at 8 PM ET.
Don't look now, but while we're focused on Trump's petulance in a NY trial court, his 3 appointees in the Sup Ct may be gearing up to make a fundamental,if arcane, change in admin law. Looking forward to discussing, + Trump news, on Deadline White House w/ host Alicia Menendez at 5 PM ET.
