Lawyers who worked for conservative groups or even the President of the United States in their capacity as lawyers, have be fined, and in a few cases, disbarred. It wasn\u2019t that the lawyers were doing anything unethical. It was that they dared represent people that the Libtards hated.<\/p>\n<p>When a lawyer is either disciplined or disbarred, people assume they did something really bad. They may have been incompetent. They might have stolen money from their clients. They may have been involved in a criminal activity. Now the various state and federal bar associations are punishing political activity they don\u2019t agree with.<\/p>\n<p>The Just The News story goes into a lot of legal details that, frankly, I don\u2019t fully understand. What I do understand is that the Democrats are once again moving to punish anyone who won\u2019t follow the Progressive, Totalitarian commands that they are telling people to obey. We are now beginning to see people who are trying to seek legal help being turned away by lawyers. They simply can\u2019t risk their livelihood if they take a case that goes against the orders of their Progressive masters.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.pinimg.com\/736x\/2e\/2d\/09\/2e2d092abc77e5c1b0529d7382b543f9.jpg?resize=503%2C283&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"503\" height=\"283\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If this and other moves by the Democrats aren\u2019t stopped, there will be consequences.
