One can disagree with concept of increased incarceration as a policy choice, but its misleading to quote it partially.

"The benefits of increased incarceration would be enjoyed disproportionately by black Americans living in inner cities, who are victims of violent crime at far higher rates than whites or persons who live outside the inner cities."

Do it! UTUSN Jun 2020 #1

Why would he not Mme. Defarge Jun 2020 #2

It takes a lot to disbar someone. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #5

No doubt a good thing, Mme. Defarge Jun 2020 #6

That won't make it go any faster StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #8

Due process. Just sayin' Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #9

Of course this makes perfect sense. Mme. Defarge Jun 2020 #11

I definitely share that frustration!! Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #12

Only if Trump gets reelected and keeps Barr on as AG would there be enough time to go totodeinhere Jun 2020 #25

Yup, Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #26

That requires a complaint to the bar association in the state(s) in which he is licensed. Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #4

Disbarment wouldn't get rid of him StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #7

I don't believe that's correct, but it is surprisingly hard to track down a definitive answer Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #10

There is no legal requirement that the AG be an attorney StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #13

There are three job requirements, at a minimum, that require a licensed attorney Ms. Toad Jun 2020 #14

The fact that those are among the duties of the AG does not mean that the AG has to be licensed StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #16

thank you Ligyron Jun 2020 #19

That is correct. If he were disbarred he would be under tremendous pressure to resign, totodeinhere Jun 2020 #24

He needs to be disbarred because he's a disgrace to the legal profession StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #27

One can hope!! Thekaspervote Jun 2020 #15

Yeah...that'll never happen. progressoid Jun 2020 #17

YES! Dis-barr him and then de-Barr the rest of us. flibbitygiblets Jun 2020 #18

ABA couldn't do anything about him unfortunately 47of74 Jun 2020 #22

That explains why I couldn't find anything. Thanks for the info. flibbitygiblets Jun 2020 #23

I believe he's Iicensed in New York and DC StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #28

I was hoping to be the first one to make the "dis-Barr-ment" pun. Music Man Jun 2020 #30
