2021 Update: Rubin & Bernstein PLLC and Mark Rubin Hey there. On March 16, 2020, I attended an in-person settlement conference at the Pima County Superior Court. Lots of sanitizer cleaned surfaces. No masks. The case settled but, even then, none of us should have been in the courthouse. Since March 17 I have been […] The post 2021 Update: Rubin & Bernstein PLLC and Mark Rubin appeared first on Mark Rubin.…

The Big Case Fallacy Donald J. Trump offered these words after the U.S. Supreme Court issued its three-sentence long Order in Pending Case on December 11, 2020: This is a great and disgraceful miscarriage of justice. The people of the United States were cheated, and our Country disgraced. Never even given our day in Court! […] The post The Big Case Fallacy appeared first on Mark Rubin.…

Rudy Giuliani and the Power of the Voice Donald Trump informed us on Sunday, December 6, that Rudy Giuliani tested positive for COVID-19. Within hours, we heard about Mr. Giuliani being hospitalized. I shared some thoughts on Facebook. I mentioned the preciousness of human life and how challenged I was to conjure up empathy for […] The post Rudy Giuliani and the Power of the Voice appeared first on Mark Rubin.…

What’s the Point? DJT and the Post-Election Nonsense Just shy of four weeks after Election Day 2020, we still have lawyers throwing crap on the wall, hoping something will stick. The latest? On Saturday, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, unanimously, told an R Congressman to go pound sand when he tried to void the 2020 election, […] The post What’s the Point?

Thirty-Nine Years Ago … There’s More My post on October 17, 2020 shared the events of October 17, 1981, together with some professional lessons I got from early mentors, David Leiberthal and Howard Kashman. This post, begun at the end of the day on October 19, 2020 – the 39th anniversary of my first day […] The post Thirty-Nine Years Ago … There’s More appeared first on Mark Rubin.…

Asymmetrical Craziness Dr. Scott Atlas encourages large holiday gatherings. Senator Lindsey Graham (R – S.C.) has “inquired about” unlawfully tossing Georgia absentee ballots, while the person to whom he made the suggestion – Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger – gets death threats from Just Folks. The Missouri Senate can’t meet because too many senators […] The post Asymmetrical Craziness appeared first on Mark Rubin.…

Trump: Election Lies No sentient being should have ever expected a normal post-election period in 2020. No. One. Still, POTUS and his minions deserve a trip to the woodshed, to be whipped with a proverbial stick, for making a shambles of our democratic traditions. Rs tell us, the votes count, not what the media declares. […] The post Trump: Election Lies appeared first on Mark Rubin.…

Election Day: Here We Are! The angst drives me nuts, but I was blessed with a solution: a one-day trial on Election Day. I’ve spent most of Monday doing trial prep, and I will be blessedly oblivious until the trial ends on Tuesday afternoon. I am very optimistic about election results and deeply pessimistic about […] The post Election Day appeared first on Mark Rubin.…

Thirty-Nine Years … On a lovely Saturday morning in 1981 – as it happens, October 17 – I travelled to Tempe, to Grady Gammage Memorial Auditorium – to become a lawyer. (Frank Lloyd Wright designed the building, which was completed in 1950.) With me were my mom and my sisters. (My father, whose father was […] The post Thirty-Nine Years … appeared first on Mark Rubin.…

Ugh!!! I wrote most of a post on Monday and Tuesday morning. It focused on the tax return story. Not quite done, I got wrapped up in life for the rest of the week. The Tuesday Night Sh*t Show. Illness at work. A bad case. Blah, blah, blah. Then, yesterday morning, a sick president and, […] The post Ugh!!! appeared first on Mark Rubin.…

Buck up, ever’body! Buck up, ever’body! RBG would not want us crying in our cups, and I think this Court thing-y will turn out okay! As is Senator Addison Mitchell McConnell Jr. (R – Ky.) – the Senate Majority Leader – plays games. We know this! He sold us a lot of crap in 2016, […] The post Buck up, ever’body! appeared first on Mark Rubin.…

You Reap What You Sow: Trump Edition Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Galations 6:7. Survey question. Has Donald J. Trump ever read Galations? Has he ever heard of Galations? Can you hear saying Galations, as if it was a word he wants to […] The post You Reap What You Sow: Trump Edition appeared first on Mark Rubin.…

Dump Election Night Results Donald J. Trump messes with our elections with mind bending frequency. On September 2, he told North Carolinians they should mail in a ballot and vote on election day, to test the system. (One more crime Mr. Trump tells people they ought to commit!) Earlier, he was slamming the USPS, repeatedly […] The post Dump Election Night Results appeared first on Mark Rubin.…
