The bending at the knee of law firm Paul Weiss to Trump is awe-inspiring in its humiliation of the Democrats. Weiss is the traditional home of the corporate wing of the Democratic Party and has traditionally served as the Democrats' government-in-exile during the out years.

The abject surrender of the institutional Democratic Party could not be more plainly on display.

@JoeChip I think it's more of a live by the sword die by the sword sort of situation.

Weiss built their business around engagement with the federal government, so they have to pivot when the federal government changes to remain engaged with it.

There could be a lesson there for the institutional Democratic Party and their values. It's not so much humiliation as it is successfully continuing to have the cart hitched to the horse, although they might want to reconsider the horse they want to hitch to.
