Newell ripped into general counsel Karl Quackenbush when the lawyer advocated for more hands-on moderation on Steam. “What the f— do I pay you for if that’s your opinion?” Newell reportedly interjected.
Presumably he pays the legal professional for their legal opinion. Doesn’t mean he has to listen, but usually you should listen to your lawyers.
True but there’s very liitle context here. It could have made more sense in the conversation if it was meant like “I pay you to fight for our position, not roll over to threats.”
Sometimes a lawyer has nothing to fight with. The law and constitution are sometimes clear and any judge will disbar a lawyer who tries to waste the courts time on this issue (this never happens because lawyers won’t risk it when things are that obvious - and usually it isn’t). If you don’t like it pay a lobbiest not a lawyer.

If a position is legally untenable it’s a lawyer’s job to say so, though. We really don’t have enough context here.

Not any longer with federalist society partisan activist judges appointed throughout the country.

I’ve heard about this once in my lifetime, and it made the news because it was so usual…
So not “any” judge, rather one specific one.
