We should not assume all lawyers are as hypocritical as these;. remember, only 98 percent of lawyers give the other 2 percent a bad name.

Eight years of daily Obama malfeasance and now they have the gall to pick on Kellyanne?

““We do not file this complaint lightly,” the professors said in their filing.”

I bet they wouldn’t even file until they got cash money up front.

Someone once said that a lawyer who can’t make a living practicing law becomes a law professor. Makes perfectly good sense.

If the complaint is fraudulent (politically motivated), as we know it is, by signing it in bad faith each of those lawyers subjects themselves to disciplinary complaints to their own home state bars.

” “We believe that, at one time, Ms. Conway, understood her ethical responsibilities as a lawyer and abided by them. But she is currently acting in a way that brings shame upon the legal profession.””

These guys need to find a mirror! If anyone brings shame to the “legal profession,” it’s college “law professors!”

However many hours Kellyanne must take each week or month to deal with this crap is that many hours she cannot help make American great again.

This is the purpose behind this of course.

“Identify them, hire investigators to find dirt on them and go after them. Hit one of ours, destroy five of theirs. Only thing they understand.”

Absolutely! The GOPe never goes after those who threaten them. Trump isn’t going to let that happen to him. As far as I am concerned, President Trump defines the “New Republican Party.” We need to do everything we can to remove those who are in the GOPe (aka “The Old Republican Party”). The stench on the GOP brand is like walking through a pig farm.

“...But she is currently acting in a way that brings shame upon the legal profession.”

Uh, No. They did that, themselves, over the course of the last 100 years of maliciously meddling in the political discourse of this nation, at a level beyond the accessibility of the average citizen.

Should she have mentioned Ivanka’s merchandise? No.
Did she have a malicious intent? No.
Was she attempting to fight back against an unfair attack? Yes.

Climb back up to your ivory tower, ‘professors’. We don’t need your pontification, or your slanderous suits.

“We do not file this complaint lightly,” the professors said in their filing.

Maybe, but not out of concern for “ethics”. More likely out of fear of blowback from those of us who realize this is simply political sour grapes. Keep in mind that nearly all Democrat—and Republican—politicians are lawyers. Certainly, these so-called professors hold the Democrats to the same ethical standards, right?

From what I understand, Kellyanne Conway referred to a “Bowling Green Massacre” that never happened. She subsequently said she had misspoken and was actually referring to the arrest of two Iraqis in Bowling Green on terrorism related charges. The left continues to poke fun at her, blowing her statement out of proportion. Her statement was wrong but terrorism is real—no laughing matter if you ask me.

The other issue was Kellyanne Conway’s remark during an interview to buy Ivanka Trump products. Given that she’s a brand new government hire who was disciplined by her boss, and this was clearly an off-the-cuff remark rather than a serious endorsement, the matter should be pretty much closed.

Those who can, do. Those who can’t teach. The corollary is that those who can’t teach, teach teachers.

And Barack Obama never proved his Constitutional eligibility to become President

Members of the bar made false comments, signed false affidavits, ridiculed those who questioned his eligibility

Where were all your “ethics’ then, Boyz?

No wonder you’re on faculty and not actually practicing.
