Thought of suchmoon vs nullius when I heard the news:
You are obviously not a lawyer. You have no idea what the standards for disbarment are. Please stop opining from total ignorance—or else hit up West/Lexis, and show some case law applicable to any circumstance even remotely similar. Every state has mountains of published opinions about its rules of professional conduct for attorneys. Have fun with that.
If he ever comes back, someone point him in the direction of this post please.
And it's not like these are tough or questionable decisions... those cases are being tossed for being frivolous. Some disbarments are more likely than this getting past SC, and some of those cases have actually been dropped by lawyers/plaintiffs themselves probably because they realize how much shit they'd be in if they continue to push Trump's lies (keep in mind that Trump is not the plaintiff in any of the cases - it's usually his campaign or some allegedly aggrieved voters).
And BTW the reason we have nutjobs like Rudy Giuliani and Lin Wood now on these cases is that reputable law firms don't want to touch this nonsense.

If anybody has his attorney license removed, he is not allowed to practice law any longer. This means that he has to stop speaking for clients. It also means that he can continue to advise them, in court, as to how to speak for themselves, if they agree to have him as their co-counsel.
A lawyer isn't an attorney, necessarily. Attorney is just a way to handle cases that might make you more money. A lawyer is anybody who knows and can use the law. And such includes being counsel for someone while not speaking in court... by whispering into his ear what he should say and do next. The lawyer is totally allowed by the Constitution and Amendments, as long as he doesn't literally speak into the record.
