I figured it was probably due to some kind of pressure from his personal life, and today William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection gives us the rest of the story. <br /><br />Apparently Paul's recent critique of the Giffords memorial having a Yaqui prayer said when none of the victims was a follower of the Yaqui religion - the assumption apparently being that one religion's prayer is as good as any other - ruffled some native American feathers. Paul works at Akin Gump, a big law firm in DC, and another partner there, James Meggesto, took grave offense and demanded that Paul remove the post and apologize. <br /><br />Apparently fearing for his job Paul has disappeared the post, issued a groveling apology and ceased blogging.
