That one incident is not a basis for declaring that every lawyer has a different legal opinion. Lawyers don’t argue their legal opinions; they argue their clients positions.

Our justice system operates under the principle that everyone is entitled to competent legal representation. That doesn’t imply that the lawyer is in sympathy with the client’s position.

This also has little to do with the cultish behavior we have been seeing from followers of the malevolent nincompoop. They have been behaving as cult members, and not primarily as legal professionals . Their behavior should not be a basis for overthrowing our legal system and replacing it with knee jerk antidotes.
