Left-Wing Lawyers Are Trying To Stop Trump on Everything
I spent 16 years as a lawyer and a judge before going to Congress and have maintained my law license and have done a very small amount of legal work since leaving Washington.
Thus, I was shocked when over 6,000 law professors and law students signed a petition demanding that Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley be disbarred simply for questioning the results of the 2020 election.
Professor Alan Dershowitz said that Cruz was the best student he ever had at Harvard Law School, and Hawley graduated from both Stanford and Yale Law School.
I graduated from the George Washington University Law School and was taught back then that even the worst criminals had the right to be defended in our courts.
The petition mentioned above showed me that too many of our law schools had become very political, very partisan, and really little more than leftist think tanks.
Now, there are apparently thousands of left-wing lawyers chomping at the bit to sue President Trump, trying to stop everything he is trying to do.
As I write this column, there are three federal judges who are at least temporarily stopping Trump’s executive order to do away with birthright citizenship.
I have been interested in this issue for a long time, and was asked by The Tennessean newspaper to write a column which was published on August 1
