      That is the problem with Twitter, you can make huge assertions (in this case that the entire Zionist enterprise leads inevitably to bigoted mobs) and then walk away from the claim.

      Lawyers are trained to read words in the narrow context of the courtroom. They are not taught to read for irony, nuance or context (as, say, literary scholars, philosophers, and historians are). I've never found lawyers to be particular sensitive readers.

          Thanks for your extraordinarily absurd generalization, which I think lawyers like Abraham Lincoln might disagree with.

          This is quite the diversion from the topic of the thread, but for what it's worth here's Chief Justice John Marshall lambasting Justice Joseph Story for omitting Jane Austen from a lecture:pic.twitter.com/J9kcd2hhdy

          There's a wonderful Swedish expression that might be relevant to the lawyer's claim of "reading for a living": "som fan läser bibeln"—"the way the Devil reads the Bible"
