We urgently need lawyers to stand up for rule of law. A lot of the GOP lawyers who knew better during Trump’s election theft litigation circus in 2020 are all in on shredding the Constitution in 2025.
We need more than a statement. Disbar these people including the attorneys representing the administration, AG, and SCOTUS if they will not uphold the rule of law.
The maga response will now be the increasingly tired refrain for everything:
1. The ABA is corrupt. So of course they support more corruption.
2. Trump is following the rule of law. It’s the ABA that isn’t.
3. The president has authority over everything in the Exec branch, and everything is.
I see this as a direct message to lawyers - which is even more disturbing. If they fear that they are teaching lawyers to go forth and undermine law, they have some serious self-reflection to do. Especially with the Federalist Society.

The ABA supports the rule of law*yers*, who never face any consequences for misconduct, ever, thanks to...the model rules put out by...the ABA.

They need our support now more than ever.
Sad.
How far we have fallen.
