I am so concerned about the government’s attacks on the country’s legal system that I started a column last night that looked just like the one I wrote a few days ago.

You know the drill. Executive Orders and sanctions on law firms that have represented the president’s opponents (read: enemies), even if only tangentially.  Threats (overt and assumed) against all other law firms, making it likely firms will turn away prospective clients. Instructions to the Attorney General to investigate and prosecute firms and lawyers who take any cases that challenge the federal government, including, for example, cases involving anyone accused of violating immigration laws. Threats to bring lawyers up before bar associations for censure or possible disbarment.

And then there is the cowardice of firms like Paul, Weiss and the others who refuse to, or actually don’t know how to, defend themselves.

Then, there are threats against mainstream judges who are being called leftist lunatics and who are receiving real-time threats from MAGA lunatics. Judge Boasberg lives about 3/4 of a mile from us. Want to know his exact address? Google it. Threats to ignore their rulings, some times by actions, sometimes by inaction. Threats to impeach them.

We are a country of laws? Don’t count on it.

But, guess what? I want to talk about something else. I want to talk about eggs.

I am not sure where we stand on bird flu. Is it spreading? Is it diminishing? Will it become the norm? Prices seem to have stabled, I think, but at an inflated level. So the answer of the Trump administration is to import millions of eggs. As I understand it, most European countries have refused, but South Korea and Turkey have stepped up to the plate and Trump says prices should be back to normal by Easter. Maybe so, since the Christian calendar has set Easter late this year.

But how do you set up a system to bring millions of eggs into the country so quickly? How do you establish that health and safety standards are being met, especially as you fire Department of Agriculture inspectors? How do you set up an internal distribution system so fast? How do millions of eggs suddenly appear. Do Korean and Turkish officials order their chickens to lay more eggs, or do Turks and Koreans seeegg prices rise in their own countries, or have to cope with egg shortages? I don’t understand.

That brings me to my final topic – the White House Easter Egg Hunt. Trump is looking for a sponsor for only $200,000. Let’s see. The Jewish National Fund Easter Egg Hunt or, on a more personal level, the Adas Israel Easter Egg Hunt. But let’s get serious. How about the Paul, Weiss Easter Egg Hunt? I could go on and on, of course. But whoever decides to sponsor the Hunt will face quite a pushback. Although they will hope to create a splash, my guess is they are more likely to create a splatter.
