I just read today on the internet there is a current petition being circulated calling for the disbarrment of both Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley for their roles in the insurrection upon our Nation’s capitol. To date over 6,000 lawyers and law school students have signed the petition.
I know, I know I only have a Juris Doctorate from the Bob Jackson School of Law. I didn’t go to Harvard or Yale or Georgetown. But if I could sign up on this petition count me as 6,001.
Why do we go to law school and become officers of the Court? Do we do it to make a lot on money? Do we do it because of ego? Do we do it to file one frivilous bullshit lawsuit one after another as some do?
I would hope one pursues a career in law because of a passion for practicing law. I would hope there is an inner desire to somehow in these times we live in to be an agent for decency and justice for the poor and the rich. For the brown, the black, and the white. Justice should be colorblind.
Justice for all.
That our hope regardless of sex, race, religion, or sexual orientation we are all viewed as equals by our constitution and our laws. Because if we do not have this in a democracy….. we have nothing.
What we are witnessing currently before our eyes is an American tragegy laden with historical infamy perhaps even moreso the Civil War. Nothing more than a dumpster fire slowy burning before our very eyes.
So…should Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley be disbarred? Of course they should be disbarred. They should not only be disbarred but they should each be found guilty of a felony and spend some time in federal prison to reevaluate the remainder of their lives.
Too harsh?
No. Because they not only committed this disgraceful crime but after a four hour or so delay they walked right back into the building and did it again in their desire to win over some of the human rabble Trump voters.
Their fealty was to the ocean of dysfunctional Trump supporters and not to the law. It seems pretty simple.
Please watch the video above if you have time. It’s the best closing summation I’ve ever seen.
We have to be better than this. What we have become is not acceptable…not even in a dictatorship, let alone a democracy.
