White House Counsel should advocate for the agenda, not restrain it
What the document says“it should function more as an activist yet ethical plaintiffs’ firm that advocates for its client”
The chapter argues the Counsel's office should not act as a credentialing stop for future judges or firm partners who limit their opinions to protect their reputations, and should instead advocate for the Administration's agenda within the limits set by the Constitution and legal ethics. It states elsewhere that the office's lawyers should not erect roadblocks out of an abundance of caution but offer practical advice on advancing the agenda lawfully.
What the document actually says“it should function more as an activist yet ethical plaintiffs’ firm that advocates for its client”
The lawyers in this office should act more like a law firm that fights for its client.
The White House has its own lawyers. This chapter says they should not just warn the president about what he cannot do. It says they should look for legal ways to help him do what he wants. It says they should not block things just to be safe.
