(14,498 posts)a thorough psychological profile for racist, xenophobic, intolerant, misogynistic and extremist religious tendencies should be done on all applicants for public service.....IMHO. They should be examples for our communities to follow.

(51,763 posts)But there are ethical rules for lawyers, which include avoiding conflicts of interest. IMO, a racist cannot ethically represent the People, either as a prosecutor nor civilly as a County Counsel or Deputy Attorney General.

(51,763 posts)Pass a criminal background check, references, that sort of thing. But it does not weed out racists or unethical assholes. Obviously.

(617 posts)Google Stephen Glass and the CA Bar assoc.
SunSeeker
(51,763 posts)Akin to criminal fraud.
Glass essentially committed very public fraud by making up stories as a journalist to sell to the New Republic. There was even a movie about it, Shattered Glass.
The California Bar could not ignore his past misconduct under those circumstances.
Glass was the odd exception, not the rule.

(14,498 posts)could you disbarred, or perhaps fired from a firm or government entity on that basis?
TIA....
Progressive Law
(617 posts)...for being unethical. But dishonestly and fraud is what the bar is concerned with. One might make the argument that the DA is merely a racist, but not dishonest. Not saying I agree with that argument, just saying it's plausible.

(51,763 posts)Seems like that conflict can't be waived by the client.

(14,498 posts)are probably incorrigible and beyond redemption. They always volunteer to seek help and show remorse but in my life-long experience, racism is typically deeply ingrained and unlikely to be removed from the personality.
Many will go through the motions and claim they've changed, but down the road in private conversation, the ugly still comes out.

(21,862 posts)I have never heard of the word "fitment." Are you claiming that a particular state uses that word? If so, which one? Or did you just make a mistake when you wrote fitment?

(51,763 posts)The rule of law in general is not fairing well under the current adminstration.
Now the California AG is another story. Xavier Becerra is a smart, ethical, and caring advocate for the people of the State of California.

(19,240 posts)What was he expecting from life? What goal did he fail to meet? This guy obviously has issues with women. Or is he trying to prove his masculinity by denigrating women? When I look at his picture I see a guy trying too hard to be clean cut. Maybe there is a woman inside him trying to get out and he is overcompensating.
