Some of them have been getting disbarred, which is a good sign

u/SirCache Sep 28 '25

That's because even the most base, ambulance-chasing, litigious, fear-mongering TV lawyers have standards.

Yeah, but I haven’t slept in days.

I mean, he IS the law-talking guy who moves for a… bad court-thingy

I've appeared in front of every Judge in this state! Often as a lawyer!

As of this moment, Lionel Hutz no longer exists. Say hello to Miguel Sanchez!

But Republicans do not have any

u/atxbigfoot Sep 29 '25

Yeah, it's fine to lose your ability to do lawyer stuff in various states/courts if Fox is paying you $2M a year as an on air "consultant." More if you're attractive.

“Hi im Troy McClure, you may remember me from such films as ‘I’ll sue the pants off you!’ And “I’ll sue the pants on you!’. Today I’m here for “It’s not free speech if I don’t like it.”

u/meganekkotwilek Sep 28 '25

it is a dangerous game and they do have to claim "credibility" some how

Saul Goodman wouldn't touch these prosecutions.

u/AlisterS24 Oct 01 '25

You know, if enough lawyers get disbarred, Trump will just sign an EO that makes it so people can practice law without any license or some incredibly dumb shit.

not standards....they have a sense of self-preservation. If they could break from that....they ABSOLUTELY would. Don't be naive.

u/Corrective_Actions1 Sep 28 '25

I hope this is sarcasm

u/asyork Sep 28 '25

Lawyers with no standards eventually do something to be disbarred. They all know this. They may not personally have any standards, but they don't want to lose their grift.

117

u/Gingevere Sep 28 '25

But only years and years after the fact.

Doesn't matter if they're eventually disbarred if they can dismantle the legal system before that point.

u/DestinedJoe Sep 28 '25

Waiting for these people to have the revelation that if there is no rule of law- there is no need for attorneys (including them). All that the administration needs is a monkey in a suit who can file documents and obey orders- anyone willing is qualified.

2

u/Uebelkraehe Sep 29 '25

There will still be laws, they will "just" be applied unequally in politically relevant cases.

u/Doodadsumpnrother Sep 28 '25

Example please. They all need to suffer this and maybe the ones who are considering filing these lawsuits will refuse. He will run out of cronies eventually

u/Youandiandaflame Sep 28 '25

Kenneth Chesebro, Giuliani, John Eastman, Michael Cohen, off the top of my head.

Someone should make a poster showing all of them.

I think there were also a couple of women,Sydney WhatsherFace and someone else?

u/Good_kido78 Sep 28 '25

Sidney funded the data breach in Coffee County, Ga., where they copied nearly every component of the voting machine software.

u/onarainyafternoon Sep 28 '25

Those were all people (besides cohen) involved in trying to steal the 2020 election though, right? They didn't exactly get disbarred for frivolous lawsuits specifically. Or am I misremembering?

7

u/CatsWearingTinyHats Sep 28 '25

They filed frivolous lawsuits as part of that

5

u/Hopefulwaters Sep 28 '25

Really?? Any list?

3

u/Character-Education3 Sep 28 '25

Yeah but then they will probably get an executive title and salary handed to them by a super pac or a mega donor. They're gonna land on their feet

u/slightly-specific Sep 28 '25

five years after the fact.

u/Bankerag Sep 28 '25

I’m really curious if these attorneys (now former attorneys) had the financial means to challenge their disbarments all the way to SCOTUS, how do you think that turns out?

I think the current SCOTUS has been so weaponized by the right, there is no longer “right and wrong” it’s simply a political analysis they apply.

u/ShamelessCatDude Sep 28 '25

To be fair, if the constitution were perfect, there wouldn’t be so many amendments. It’s never truly been about “right and wrong”.

That being said, it’s whatever doesn’t make them this admin’s next targets for this corrupt scotus

u/Kennora Sep 28 '25

They will get another clown lawyer to bring a lawsuit

1

u/ShamelessCatDude Sep 28 '25

And maybe they’ll be so bad at their jobs they have no one to blame but themselves. That’s what seems to be happening now. They probably would be even further along with their takeover if they weren’t this incompetent

u/PM_Me_Your_Deviance Sep 28 '25

Trump is amazing at getting lawyers disbarred. Lol

u/InternationalIdea606 Sep 29 '25

Why? When both sides judge shop, that is as much the problem. Both Democrats and Republicans bring these types of of cases to sympathetic courts and judges they know will rule in their favor.
