The amazing thing is that Kirschner holds a law degree in the first place. You are taught in law school ethics that you must defend an accused if they can’t find anyone else - thus, famed trial lawyer Louie Nizer wrote many years ago that he would have felt compelled to defend Hitler on criminal charges if they could not have found a defense attorney of similar caliber. Here, you have this clown wanting to shut down people over a civil disagreement and the exercise of their First Amendment rights to speak publicly about what is the truth - this was a stolen, fraudulent election of a barely sentient individual propped up by a leftwing conspiracy funded by tech and Wall Street billionaires.

I am no lawyer, but a long life has led me to understand that.

When I was young, I wondered many times how defense lawyers could represent people who where clearly guilty of terrible crimes.

As the years passed, I realized that the defense lawyer had a duty equal to the determination of innocence and that was to ensure that even the most reprehensible criminal must be tried and convicted according to the law. In other words, without an adequate defense lawyer, the court runs the risk of becoming a kangaroo court either accidentally or on purpose.

Roger Stone’s treatment as well as many other recent examples illustrate the importance of the defense attorney.
