“I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration and support and defend these States. Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see the End is more than worth all the Means.” J Adams, July 1776
I’m terribly sad to learn of the passing of our Holy Father Francis. @Pontifex was a shepherd to me and millions of Catholics all over the world. Our third son is named for him. I will miss him.
Rest in peace.
For me, I’ll remember him every time I argue in court, because I still always prepare the way he taught me. And most of all I’ll remember his unfailing kindness: the way he opened up his home to us and invested so much in mentoring me and so many others. Rest in peace.
I’m extraordinarily saddened by the passing of Ted Olson—one of the most accomplished attorneys of the last 40 years. Ted pioneered appellate practice as it exists at nearly every major law firm today. https://t.co/5JzVUcoZD3
There’s so much that can and rightly will be said about Ted’s accomplishments in the law, his contributions to Gibson Dunn and to the appellate bar more broadly, and his public service.
