end of the holiday
a square of pale grass
beneath the tent
old mill stream
a bramble stalk
in perpetual motion

With panache, Ernie the Attorney notes Jack Valenti says ‘fair use is not in the law’. Ernie calls it “bullheadedness,” but isn’t that what mouthpieces do — spin their client’s position, ignoring facts, law, equities?
Can a lawyer serve the client diligently, and be an “officer of the court,” while being “on the Judeo-Christian side of every issue.” See article on Rev. Falwell’s Liberty University Law School — National Law Journal, “Law and Religion“.
The answer to that last question is no, unless you land a job as corporate counsel to the 700 Club.

Well, that might cover the “diligence owed the client” issue, but what about “officer of the court”?

I don’t see a problem but we should probably define the terms first. What exactly does the “Judeo-Christian side of an issue of law” require? The phrase is so vague and subject to so many different interpretations that it’s practically meaningless.

I trust that it is Happy Jack Valenti, and not Ernie, that you mean to demean as a “mouthpiece.” In equestrian parlance, a mouthpiece as a “bit.” Mr. Valenti, I fear, belongs at the other end of the horse.
