other lawyers. There will be some pressure on them, though maybe not enough, we'll see. Thrilled that ACLU is doing this. If by chance he gets disbarred I believe he'd have to step down (unless he can get another bar license quickly from another state).

membership/contribution to the ACLU. It is VERY important. It is the legal system that is going to bring down the Trumpsters.

I used to lobby for years ago, in my state. They are raising record amounts. I should help them fundraise too. I have lots of ideas.

This should be a founded complaint. It would against any other lawyer. It should at least bring a public reprimand and a temporary suspension. That should knock him out.
I hope the bar doesn't come out and say something like, it's political. The right hates the ACLU, but im sure they did a first class complaint .
