Sure, it sounds like her King Lear speech.
But keep in mind that the American Bar Association has been handing out Not Qualified ratings, after blatantly biased processes that break the rules, to Trump judicial nominees.
And then there’s this push.
The ethical advisory arm of the federal judiciary is circulating a draft rule that would ban judges and their clerks from belonging to the Federalist Society, an organization aimed at fostering an originalist interpretation of the Constitution at law schools and through forums and debates across the country.
The proposed rules change is the latest salvo in a campaign to cast the Federalist Society as too political, and thereby politically risky, for judiciary participation.
The Left doesn’t deal with setbacks by waiting four years. It figures out new angles of attack. And yes, it’s coming after conservative lawyers.
This Pelosi rant should be viewed from that perspective.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday hammered the lawyers leading President Trump’s impeachment defense, saying they’ve trampled on the Constitution while questioning how they’ve been allowed to keep their licenses.
“I don’t know how they can retain their lawyer status, in the comments that they’re making,” Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol.
We’ve come a long way from a few years ago when Democrats were vocally defending Hillary’s enthusiastic defense of a brutal child rapist because it’s the job of lawyers to defend their clients no matter how evil they are. Doesn’t apply to Trump though.
