Martha Mitchell was known as the "Mouth of the South", a staunch conservative, but had an extreme dislike for Nixon. As a whistleblower to Helen Thomas, she helped bring about his demise.

1. She was manhandled and drugged as a result of her "mouth"

In the days immediately after the Watergate break-in in 1972, her husband enlisted former FBI agent Steve King to prevent her from learning about the break-in or contacting reporters. Despite these efforts, Martha learned that one of her friends, her daughter's bodyguard and driver James W. McCord Jr., was among those arrested. She began to explore the events in order to help him. While on a phone call with Helen Thomas about the Watergate break-in, King pulled the phone cord from the wall. She was held against her will in a California hotel room and forcefully sedated by a psychiatrist after a physical struggle with five men that left her needing stitches. Nixon aides, in an effort to discredit Mitchell, told the press that she had a "drinking problem". Mitchell began contacting reporters when her husband's role in the scandal became known, initially in an effort to defend him. Nixon was later to tell interviewer David Frost in 1977 that Martha was a distraction to John Mitchell, such that no one was minding the store, and "If it hadn't been for Martha Mitchell, there'd have been no Watergate." Because of these allegations, she was discredited and abandoned by most of her family, except for her son Jay. The Mitchells separated in 1973.

In 1976, in advanced stages of multiple myeloma, Mitchell slipped into a coma and died at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York City at age 57. She is buried in the Bellwood Cemetery in Pine Bluff.

3. That's another reason why it's so important to take the WH in 2020.

A Dem president can appoint their own DOJ officials.

5. Cutthroat competition to get into law school and for grades once in,

lawyer advertising, and ridiculous amounts of student loan debt all changed the legal profession for the worse.
