"The message from the bar leadership is chilling for those lawyers who view cases like the one in Manhattan as a raw political prosecution. While the letter does not outright state that such criticism will be considered unethical conduct, it states that the criticism has "no place in the public discourse" and calls on members to speak publicly in support of the integrity of these legal proceedings."
"You have the top CBA officials calling on lawyers to take a public position that is opposed by many lawyers and citizens in defending the integrity of these prosecutions. Imagine the response if the Idaho State Bar called on its lawyers to speak out against these cases and declared that it is reckless or unprofessional to defend them."

The hypocrisy on the left reaches staggering new heights. The left, and people claiming to be lawyers on the left have been impugning the Supreme Court and their decisions for years. Now when lawyers think Merchan has committed legal errors he is above criticism? Sorry, Merchan turned misdemeanors past statute of limitations into prosecutable felonies, not water into wine.

Got ant evidence that 12 jurors in the trial, or those on the Grand Jury that recommended the indictments were all left leaners? Merchan is the judge who presides over the indictments put before him, he doesnt create them. Apparently only people who think like you are "ordinary citizens".

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - the instructions to the jury, left them with little choice. When has there ever been Jury instructions that the jury doesn’t have to have a unanimous decision to convict?

SFC (Join to see) I donated to the Republican Party for all my military career, does that mean I believe in their policies today and that my daughter can't work for a super liberal firm?
