@Jon Mayer:

I object to it being called a “corporate defense shop.”

Why? That’s neither a pejorative description nor an inaccurate one.

I wasn’t referring to the phrase “notoriously belligerent”, I object to it being called a “corporate defense shop.”

Can we get an UPDATE of this post to reflect that the White House has denied the rumors?

What yvanehtnioj said, and Kagan does not deny her sexuality, dude, she just isn’t giving interviews about it. I’ll doubt your motives, though, if you are interested in “defending” QE from charges of aggressiveness. They’re lawyers.

If you think that the description of Quinn Emanuel is wrong on a number of fronts, you might want to let QE know. Their website gleefully quotes American Lawyer’s description of the firm as “Better. Faster. Tougher. Scarier.” Every single subset of the “About Us” section has a paragraph akin to this one (from Our Firm: Why We Win): “The General Counsel of a well known internet company recently told one of our partners that he wanted to hire us because we “were responsible for making the business of litigation more competitive.” As he said, we are the “hungry dogs”.”

It’s not ‘hating’; any lawyer could tell you that it’s what the firm’s known for. And the firm itself is thrilled about that reputation.

In one sentence you say that Kagan is ‘reportedly’ a lesbian, in another you say she is ‘openly’ gay. I think you should respect her privacy.

I also think your commentary about QE being a “notoriously belligerent corporate defense litigation shop” is wrong on a number of fronts. dont hate.
