"Eisen: I led a big study - 170 pages, 700 footnotes, thousands of sources, interviews with practitioners around the world.

(1) Defend the rule of law. That's why I litigated that FBI case.

(2) Fight corruption. That's why I've filed multiple cases against Elon Musk"he's Trump's favorite oligarch.

(3) Pluralistic government. That's why I'm litigating the birthright citizenship case where Trump is trying to rewrite the Constitution to pick and choose who's the citizens.

(7) explain that democracy delivers better than dictatorships. Those are the last three points."
