"The Lincoln Lawyer" - David Lockmiller - 05-18-2022 09:45 AM
“The Lincoln Lawyer,” which premiered last week on Netflix, is based on a character created by the writer Michael Connelly, who is also behind the best-selling Harry Bosch franchise. A wily Los Angeles attorney, Mickey works out of various Lincolns — in the show he alternates between a vintage convertible and a new S.U.V. — as he travels from one courthouse to another.

They need to stick with the convertibles.
It worked for Perry

Wouldn't that be a good TV series of true Lincoln stories about his actual courtroom experiences? If done well, the Snow brothers case should win an Emmy.
Another good episode would be the one about Lincoln himself being charged for violating the law by transporting passengers on the Ohio river without a license.

Or Lincoln violating the law for transporting women over the Ohio so they could vote. Or get abortions.

If the Alito opinion stands, private citizens in some states can sue in their state court individuals aiding and abetting abortions consummated by that state's citizens, even if those medical procedures are carried out in another state.

An interesting subject to consider, but this has the potential of going in a divisive direction since we can only guess what Lincoln's views and actions would be regarding abortion.
I'm not sure our study of Lincoln will benefit going in this direction.
Please tread carefully and respect each others views.

I agree. I will close this thread now.
