quote:

Lin Wood, a lawyer who played a role in former President Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn his election defeat, put his law license in jeopardy on Friday by saying on social media that he would not undergo a mental health evaluation requested by an attorney licensing body.



quote:

Wood said on the app Telegram on Thursday that the State Bar of Georgia had told him he needed to submit to the evaluation to keep his law license.

In a subsequent post on Friday, Wood said he would decline the request and “litigate” with the state bar if necessary.

“I have done nothing wrong. I have only exercised my right of free speech,” Wood said in that post. “I will not allow the State Bar to persecute me for doing so and thereby violate my Constitutional rights.”



quote:

State Bar of Georgia Chief Operating Officer Sarah Coole confirmed that Wood had been asked to undergo a mental health evaluation but declined to comment further.

Lin Woods is a pimp.

The GA Bar doesn’t want any part of him.

What are the odds this “psychologist” he must visit is a democrat that does what his overlords ask? Will it be an honest diagnosis? Easy way to ruin someone

Reality is that Lin probably needs it

But professional licensing to enforce ideology is going to be a battle ground.

If Lin violated professionalism rules, and I highly suspect it's not too hard to make that argument, discipline him. I think mental illness and professional licensing is a legit topic but disbarring people for mental illness can usually be avoided by taking action based on action (rather than underlying illness).

Ga state Bar should have a mental evaluation from an independent source themselves. But this a way of acting like they know the truth and Wood doesn't. Protecting their own criminal actions.

Using mental health officials to remove wrongthinkers is part of the communist agenda. It's sad to see so many "conservatives" and "patriots" supporting it.

This is an outrageous abuse of power. Lawyers have been the vanguard of constitutional protections for centuries. Requiring some yahoo with a social science degree to determine whether an attorney with an impeccable professional reputation is mentally fit to continue practice is chilling and straight out the Soviet playbook.

I think he is a nut and a plant; but let Weissmann go before the bar association first.
