One of my other favorite shenanigans from working at Orrick:
A guy there was up for partner. His dad worked for the NSA. The guy used an NSA codebreaker program he got from his dad to go through the firm's document system and read individual attorney reviews of his work. (The individual reviews are raw comments and are definitely NOT politic or open for viewing. They get boiled down into a very polite, mildly worded version of the actual review before it is delivered.)
He was caught because - duh! - having the password doesn't mean you can't see who was opening the documents in the system.
Did they fire him? Nope. He made partner.
He's no longer at Orrick. Ken Aboud, you total bastard.
Working people should not dependants who have medical issues of any kind.
Holy crap, y'all!
I, what, I don't even. I SWEAR TO GLOB! (In a good way!)
So Obaman has now said that same-sex couples should be able to marry.
Curses! Scooped by JZ by less than a second.
Is your jaw dropped, tommy? Because mine is.
Are you also begging all the PTB in the universe that this doesn't mean the bigots are going to come out foaming and raging he's going to get hammered and swept in November? Because I sure am. Please, please,
please.
The bigots weren't voting for Obama anyway. He's a muslim, remember?
Holy shit.
The funny thing is, Orrick was one of the least dysfunctional law firms I ever worked at. They actually had their shit together at the top level and knew what they were doing (mostly). But shit still happens and when it does they are guided by expedience.
Is your jaw dropped, tommy?
Naw, Sullivan saw this coming. Plus with Biden supporting same-sex marriage and folks making fun of Obama for his hemming and hawing and evolving views....

Right, what flea said. Anyone whose vote could be changed by this wouldn't be voting for him anyway. And it's not like SSM is on the ballot in November. I don't know that "one of the candidates is for SSM" is enough to get someone disinclined to vote in general to the polls.
