    "A group of anti-Trump lawyers, calling themselves the “65 Project,” has banded together to try to discipline, shame and otherwise destroy the careers of 111 lawyers who filed 65 briefs — hence the name — seeking to overturn the 2020 election."

    This group has been said, on DailyWire, to also targeting lawyers who defend Trump in his current legal battles. This activity is completely unethical and disrupts a fair and just legal process for our elections and for the legal defense of Americans. If you think this will stop at Trump, considering how effective it is, think again. There is no reason to believe that this group won't start working to destroy every republican lawyer they can until they can destroy anyone not adhering to the leftist agenda.

    More about this group:
    https://www.influencewatch.org/organization/65-project/

    "The 65 Project was “devised” by Democratic consultant and former Clinton administration official Melissa Moss."

    The left will excuse the actions of this group but don't let them. If this group is allowed to undercut the legal system by preventing lawyers from representing cases, we might as well not have a legal system. If this type of activity is allowed to go mainstream, it will be the end of our justice system entirely and our democracy will be next to follow. It must stop.

    I've never heard of The 65 Project, but I hope they get everything they want.

    Are there any questions for us to vote on in this poll? I didn't see any.

    Ehh, those 111 lawyers are complete morons for getting caught up in Trump's election fraud fantasy, but that's also what lawyers get paid to do. Specifically targeting them for retribution over it is immature and stupid.

    Are you suggesting that it is possible for bar associations to violate the first amendment?

    Pretty much. I'm fine with that assessment.

    If it feels good do it...
    No need to consider long-term ramifications of going after attorneys for doing their jobs

    Yes, if they stop lawyers from intervening in cases, especially on a pro-bono basis.

    If the courts find that these lawyers in support of the Big Lie broke the law or violated ethical standards or didn't, how will that "be the end of our justice system entirely"? Our democracy may be next!? Sounds more like pearl clutching hyperbolic nonsense.
    I'll vote: False

    Are you seriously and unironically quoting Breitbart?

    Also, I've never heard of them but I do think most every lawyer who has done tRump's bidding should be disbarred. They've filed so many frivolous suites and made such ridiculous claims that they shouldn't be allowed to practice anymore.

    Their mission statement is:
    The 65 Project was launched to punish lawyers who supported President Trump and to dissuade future attempts to overturn elections on illegitimate grounds.

    What do you have an issue with here?

    It's not up to leftist lawyers to determine if it's an illegitimate ground. That should be up to a judge.
    If you were being sued a 100k, would it be acceptable for you to lose because your lawyers were attacked, threatened, and disbarred or should it be determined by the evidence in a real trial?

    The only reason that the lefties are cheering for this is because it's Trump's lawyers.

    It's almost like they don't understand that one day in the future it could be used against them

    These "leftist lawyers" can do nothing without bringing a case before a judge who determines the case's legitimacy, just like the backers of the Big Lie did and found their cases illegitimate. How would that "be the end of our justice system entirely and our democracy will be next to follow"? Do you not believe a lawyer should be sanctioned if they lie before a judge?

    So they should be punished because they brought their client's case before a judge?

    I vote No. A lawyer is not legally allowed to knowingly lie to the court.

    They have already lost in trial. This is the effect of them using falsified documents and information to push a political agenda.

    I hope they are all disbarred
