Wait! I'm not with THEM! There's an unfortunately loud part of the country that is giving the GOP, conservatives, and Americans a bad name. This comm is for the rest of us, the quiet majority. If there is anything worth conserving, it's our values: Respect, Integrity, and Truth.
This comm is for the posting about US politics from a right, but not alt-right, perspective.
Rules:
- Treat each other with respect. Follow lemmy.today instance rules. Follow your instance rules.
- Social media posts must either include a timestamp in the image or be accompanied by a timestamp in the text of the post. Posts with an inaccurate or missing timestamp will be removed. Relative timestamp (e.g. "5 mins ago") will be removed.
- Only use high quality news sources. They all have bias, but quality and truth are a requirement. News articles must have a non-fictitious, non-anonymized byline. Fox is not a high quality news source.
- Don't post memes, but you can comment with them.

Lawyers have an ethical obligation to represent their clients to the best of their ability, so intentionally doing a poor job could be considered a violation and put their license at risk.
I'd rather see Trump bring his best lawyers and rightfully lose in broad daylight anyway.
I would argue that making sure a spurious Nazi argument doesn't get validated would be a pretty ethical thing...
I don't exactly think you're wrong, but I don't know if I'd stake my (hypothetical) license to practice law on it. They aren't.
If you have dignity, you don't work with Trump. Simple.
Still unethical for the lawyer. They are being paid to represent a client. Doesn't matter if that client's argument is ethical in and of itself.
