    In my opinion this is really something where some disciplinary action might be more appropriate than disbarment.

    If authorities applied the same standards to the media that they have been applying to these lawyers for the type of words they've brought to court, all the media companies and news anchors would be taken off the air.

    Many of the supposed reasons they want to disbar him are rather questionable. Like, are we going to start revoking people's professional licenses because they made misleading statements to the public about political events or issues?

    And surely they should not revoke a license for trying to take a petition to the Supreme Court, even if some do consider it not legally appropriate.

    The guy is probably politically wacky and maybe beginning to lose it because of his age, but I also see a political witch hunt here.

    Totally. It has nothing to do with professional standards and everything to do with MAGA always being the victims.......

    Lawyers are held to professional standards that they themselves created and agreed to abide by when the received their license to practice.

    He will be judged by his peers and I will be satisfied with whatever result they deliver.

    That rich. The loosest election system in America wants to discipline a lawyer for complaining. California just just up and mailed millions of ballots to “last known address” and has no idea where they wound up.

    Okay. What does that have to do with the poor behavior of Eastman and his failure to maintain professional standards?

    I agree, as a lawyer, they are official officers of the court and their behavior is required to meet the courts/states requirements. By publicly insisting false claims with their court motions of fraud, they bring it upon themselves for violating those rules of behavior.

    Because the bar is very low in California, unevenly applied, and political views matter.

    Objectively, it is 100% about professional standards. Just because the people you support are crooks and liars, objectively, doesn't mean they get a pass just because you say so. This lawyer will be judged, objectively, by his peers in the legal profession.

    Objectively it is about hate and a politics witch hunt. Nothing at all to do about professional standards. Crooks and liars are far more prevalent on the Dems side, as is support of them. This lawyer will be attacked irrationally by political activists and judged like it.

    No, the California Bar is going to disbar Eastman, not the election system. :roll: And, it doesn't matter where the ballots went, if the weren't returned with the correct signature they wouldn't be counted until the person they were mailed to was contacted and verified. :roll:

    Crooks and liars are not even close to being more prevalent on the Democrat side:

    They absolutely are. The unreliable data you posted doesn’t prove what you think it does.

    I notice you have nothing to counter "the data" except (as always) your very biased opinion. It AbsaByGodLutely proves what it says it does; Democrats don't hold a candle to Republican criminal activity.

    It doesn’t at all prove what you think it does. Seeing as the manner it’s obtained relies on open and fair investigations of both sides which beyond any reasonable doubt is not happening.

    It’s impossible to obtain reliable data when there is such corruption in our politics. Particularly the left wing.

    “look at this data that shows how much our one sided witch hunts occur!”

    Lol

    All a ballot harvester has to do is scribble on top of the ballot signature of republicans ballots, and it is void.
