Some see insolence towards the court, I see some smuck trying to sell his old broken fridge to a client. My $0.02, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the former, I agree. Ask some of his former clients. The proof of the puddin’ is in the eatin’. I don’t care for it when folks attempt to delegitimize someone’s work because they find her personality or character lacking. You can, in fact, “separate the policy from the man.” Edited June 10, 2021 by ThenNow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you don't like him or what he does, from a purely legal perspective you have to account for him. If he can persuade the bulk of his clients to reject any BSA deal, it makes it that much harder. Especially when you consider that it is not 2/3rds of ALL claimants, it is 2/3rds of VOTES CAST. If he can both persuade those 17,000 claimants to not only oppose the BSA plan BUT to also mail in their ballots, look out.

My read is Finn was not a signatory solely because he had a conflict and is not in attendance. I don't think there is any indication of a lack of unanimity.
