Going HARD after lawyers who knowingly participated in that "Stop the Steal" fraud. Via their law licenses. BAM.
Finally, Democrats Bring A Knife To A Knife Fight Credit: 1943
By Tengrain March 7, 2022
Keep punching!
Guys, Axios has a stunning bit up this morning (emphasis mine):
Why it matters: The 65 Project plans to begin filing complaints this week and will air ads in battleground states. It hopes to deter right-wing legal talent from signing on to any future GOP efforts to overturn elections including the midterms or 2024.
The group has three categories of targets, according to plans reviewed by Axios.
Lawyers who signed on as alternate electors, who planned to submit their names to the Electoral College in lieu of legitimate elector slates if Trump-aligned legal challenges succeeded.
Licensed attorneys who participated in or were present at the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
And it seems to have hit its intended target, as the laddie doth protest too much, methinks: This move is nothing more than a desperate attempt by leftist hacks and mercenaries Paul Davis, a Texas attorney targeted for his presence at the Capitol on January 6, wrote in an email to Axios.
Sounds like the Dems finally found their vestigial spines and have brought a knife to a knife fight, rather than a cunning 110+ Powerpoint stack.

Lawyers have duties as officers of the court. Those lawsuits were so clearly without basis.

Not the op.

(4,916 posts)The "protest too much" is all the OP from what I can see.

(35,658 posts)Here's the paragraph that I copied and pasted from the link provided by the OP:

Paul Davis, a Texas attorney targeted for his presence at the Capitol on January 6, wrote in an email to Axios.
What is your complaint about the quotes? Why do you think they were wrongly quoted?
Cuthbert Allgood
(4,916 posts)The "kill all the lawyers," in context, is not about how lawyers are evil but that they are the protection from bad people wanting to take over.
The "protest" in Hamlet is about her protestations of loving her husband not being sincere and not that when is "protesting" against something that she is deflecting from.

to take them down.
Heres a thought: as many Senators and Representatives started out as lawyers and cherish their membership in the Bar wouldnt this make the ones who participated in the insurrection vulnerable to this effort? I very much hope they are included in this plan.

It seems to be a strategy. But often just frivolous shit, that's well funded. Some of these AGs are walking around with full pockets they didn't make from a state paycheck.

(5,801 posts)Where TF are the bar associations and State AGs? Shouldn't they have investigated and taken action against these fraudsters for abusing the legal system?
