It is an overreach of my role to tell an elected official that what he proposes to do is stupid, if the stupidity of what he/she is about to do has nothing to with its illegality and everything to do with what I think the policy should be.

If you spent five minutes advising an elected official AS HIS LAWYER you would likely reach the same conclusion, unless you wanted your career to end whenever his did.
You keep changing the subject to stick to your pint and avoid the question.

Again, this is a strategy question. Will seeking fees achieve the desired policy? I really don't believe that you don't know how to yell him that maybe it won't without getting recycled when he does. And I definitely don't see how it's unethical to yell him that.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.

Busy News Day in Iran:

Ahmadinejad charges Khameni supporters with engaging in Sorcery
Iranian Intelligence Minister says Osama bin Laden Died of Disease Years Ago
Iran to reengage in Nuclear Talks

I note the intelligence minister is a former Bush administration official.

But you could sympathize with the Hassidim who found her presence in the photograph highly sexualizing, right?

I read the third line to be "renege" in Nuclear Talks. Same difference, though.
