  • Timely and factual defense of democracy and the rule of law.

    Michael Popok does a great job providing timely content with context and expertise as a practicing attorney. He uses the Constitution and SCOTUS rulings and dissenting opinions, as well as his knowledge of the people and personalities in the U.S. Article 3 Judicial System from his decades of work in that system.

Q: Do you think the government got the message about how the judge will handle this case based on the hearing?
