    I'm not understanding the whole corporate thing

    It seems to me that it matters how a corporate lawyer behaves, and that can't be confused with the names or crimes of the clients. I know a corporate lawyer who isn't morally qualified to be in any public office higher than penitentiary inmate, I've also met corporate lawyers of the absolute highest integrity.

    Mark Falkoff worked for Covington and Burling too. Alberto Mora works for Walmart. Charles Swift works for Perkins Coie. Is he a bad person? [full disclosure, I wrote-in for Alberto Mora for AG on Obama's website.]
