Lawyers Criticizing Judges: The Rules of Professional Conduct and the First Amendment (Part II)

"In sum, I agree with the Attorney General that the fentanyl chain of distribution must be attacked at every link, at every level, and that the guilty must be brought to justice," U.S. District Judge William Alsup for the Northern District of California wrote.
