How State Bars Are Taking Down Conservative Attorneys

Hell, I was one of the attorneys purged in NM. We are required to state party preference in our Bar renewal forms every year and it’s an open secret that Republicans get extra special treatment. In my case, a client disappeared leaving no forwarding address or phone number. Her case got closed because you can’t proceed without a client. She reappeared 2 years later and I tried to reopen her case but the facts had changed. She complained to the Bar and said she had never disappeared. I provided proof she did. They set me for trial. At my trial with the Bar I asked where the client was. They said they hope I knew. She had disappeared again. I still got disbarred.

As a practicing attorney I can tell you that the state bar is essentially the mafia for attorneys. They are completely autonomous and self-regulated monopolies. The last thing you want to do is run afoul of these gangsters because they will ruin your career to take your livelihood. Somehow, no matter the state, the bar is dominated by raging Marxists...never figured it out.

How's this for a hypothesis?

1. Positions of power attract people who want power.

2. The goal of the Left is power for its own sake.

At the risk of descending into tl;dr territory, here's one of my favorite quotes from Orwell:

"The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites...We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end... The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now do you begin to understand me?"
--O'Brien, in 1984, by George Orwell

Arizona is home to Raul Grijalva, John McCain, Jeff ( bare chest)Flake, sanctuary cities, Mexican Americanstudies, tattoos, ugly murals,
and affirmative action laden students in tbe professional schools. What expect?

That is just sad.

Not that it would change your situation, but couldn’t an attorney just say “no preference” or something of the sort - just to be left alone? Of course, that’d preclude being active in party politics, which IMHO is a deprivation of your right to freedom of association, but at least people wouldn’t lose their ability to earn a living just because of their political preferences.

This is anecdotal but I believe 5% of lawyers in NM are Republicans. Yet anecdotal evidence shows they get about 35% of the Disciplinary actions. We need to destroy the Bar because that is the Democrat bench.
