This get so tiresome. On the left they want to do WAR crime trials for respected legal minds that wrote memos for Bush and on the right they want to make lawyers that defended people at GITMO villains. I am tired of it all.
POX on both your houses. MAX BOOT brings some sense to the latest supposed controversy at Marc Thiessen on Keep America Safe
In in my life I have both prosecuted criminals and defended them and I feel proud of both. The system I both defended and challenged need all of that.
It is funny but the people in every day life that understood this yhr besy was police officers that generally liked both prosecutors and defense lawyers.

While I agree that a lawyer working to defend a certain position should not necessarily be seen as one with the one they defend, there can be a time when one crosses the line. There are times when lawyers can be prosecuted for going beyond ethical standards. If they are trying to manipulate the law and misrepresent it for the sake of an unlawful end, and if they know they are doing so, that could be grounds for prosecution. Of course there will be things which have to be proven -- which is not always easy.
Well I agree that of course Lawyers have to be held to a standard of conduct here.
I jjust think this occurs on the left and right. I argue this all the time as to TORT reform that so many people think is a magic bullet. I agree there should be some common sense tort reform though I think people overestimate its effects.
I think it just irks people that Lawyers make money off it which is one reason it is so popular
