According to the article, this lawyer also clerked for Clarence Thomas. It’s insane that Thomas is still a Supreme Court justice:
- Clarence Thomas’s wife Ginni Thomas pushed officials to try and overturn the 2020 election results.
- He was the only dissenting justice in the Supreme Court’s vote to approve the turnover of Trump documents to the Jan 6th committee
- He is friends with Harlan Crow, a billionaire who is a part of a group called Club for Growth. This club has donated millions to GOP candidates that supported overturning the 2020 election results.

Absolutely zero argument with you there.

Sure is disgusting how people who already have more money than God are willing to destroy our country, literally, just for the relative equivalent of a stray penny you or I might find on a sidewalk.

The American Bar Association has no integrity. The people in trump’s orbit who are allowed to practice law (heavy emphasis on the practice part) in obvious bad faith is a joke. Obvious grounds for these people to be disbarred left and right and nothing meaningful happens.
It’s a sham org.

The ABA is not in charge of attorney discipline in specific jurisdictions. They publish model rules of professional conduct, and accredit law schools, and some other stuff. But the California Bar is in charge of this particular disciplinary proceeding.

Looking at that haircut, I’m going to assume this man doesn’t make smart choices. Is that a frombover?

He looks like he’s nearing retirement age anyways, disbarment shouldn’t cost him much…
