The Cancel Culture Moves Against Trump Lawyers

Now, the Never-Trumper "Republicans" of the Lincoln Project... have dreamed up a way to self-righteously interfere with legal due process.
Reminder: our system of justice guarantees citizens the presumption of innocence and the ability to access the courts to address torts and grievances.
The larger point to consider is that should a Biden presidency come about, these sorts of tactics -- and the general, national shift to centralized government control -- will increasingly be compulsory. It is a philosophical thing. Big Government, Big Media, Big Tech, Big Medicine, Big Solutions -- all at the expense of the individual: Individual rights, individual property, personal wealth, personal privacy, individual responsibility, personal conscience. Those will all have to be compromised supposedly for the greater good -- especially if you supported Trump.
Thanks to The Lincoln Project, attorneys at Jones Day and Porter, Wright, Morris & Arthur LLP are on "the List." What list? The List of people to be identified, catalogued, written about and punished for cooperating with Republican election campaigns. Bloomberg News reported it a week ago and we have The Lincoln Project's own Twitter feed explaining their thinking.
In their tweet announcing their project against the law firms, The Lincoln Project stated: "Whatever you think of the Administration's legal arguments, targeting the sanctity of our elections is immoral & ineffective." One wonders if they apply the same election integrity standards to themselves.
