4. Floyd Abrams, famed constitutional lawyer

Floyd Abrams
From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Abrams

Floyd Abrams is a famous First Amendment lawyer. He argued the Pentagon Papers case before the Supreme Court and went on to defend numerous other clients, including defending the Brooklyn Museum of Art from Rudolph Giuliani, NBC from Wayne Newton, and Al Franken from a trademark lawsuit from FOX News Channel. His memoir is Speaking Freely (2005). Abrams is a partner at Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP, a law firm in lower Manhattan.

Abrams argued for The New York Times and Judith Miller in the CIA leak grand jury investigation.

2. He talks about missing blonde girls and Michael Jackson trials

and stuff like that.

He's been known to carry the right-wing talking point of the day, on occasion.

[catmother]

6. i would think that he's a democrat. n/t

[Lex]

7. Not sure about that.

He seems pretty conservative on his show, but his show isn't really politics.

Hard to say.

[catmother]

8. just a gut feeling. i would be very disappointed to find out that

he was a repuke. i remember him back when the 2000 election was being debated and the supreme court gave its ruling. he was standing there in the cold shaking as he read it. that was before he had his own show. but he was often a guest on geraldo and similar shows.

[PA Democrat]

15. He supported the invasion of Iraq

But when the media started to report on how the intelligence was cooked to support the invasion, I recall Abrams making a statement that he had been duped into supporting Bush's filthy war and that he was angry about it.

I've gotten the sense that he is conservative on some issues and more liberal on others.

19. like a lot of our democrats. n/t

[DistressedAmerican]

9. Hell No. I Hate That Missing White Girl, Celebrity Trial Crap.

6PM is my worst news void of the day. CNN has the flaming racist immigration show every damn night at the same time. I love having on demand digital cable!

[catmother]

10. i find i need a break from politics. i put MSNBC on as soon as i

wake up. if i go out it goes back on when i come home. then after keith olbermann who i get at 6p.m. it's regular tv, i.e., law and order, CSI, etc. gotta get away from reality for a while.

[DistressedAmerican]

12. Always good advice!

I should heed it more often...

[Nimrod2005]

11. I like Dan, watch him often...

[catmother]

13. thank you. i was beginning to feel lonely. n/t

[ruggerson]

14. Didn't he bleach his hair and change his name to Rita Cosby? n/t

[catmother]

16. come on. dan's got a very nice voice. people want to hear

more than just politics. actually i think most people don't even watch all the political shows.

[Lex]

17. I think Dan Abrams and ABC's Terry Moran started out at CourtTV together.

Maybe around the time of the OJ trial?

[catmother]

18. don't know about court tv. but that's around the time i first starting

seeing him. OJ time.

[Lex]

20. I checked their Wikipedia bios---both started at CourtTV

and ABC's Terry Moran was especially noted for his coverage of the Menendez brothers' trial at CourtTV.

That's where I remember first seeing both of those guys, at CourtTV.

21. thank you for that info. n/t
