What is missing in this opinion is a clear standard for when the failure to establish a case — as Giuliani failed to do with his election fraud claims — is a disbarring offense. In reality, many cases collapse in court over insufficient evidence. Election challenges are made without access to critical records or data held by election boards or officials — indeed, litigants often go to court to gain such access. Likewise, public interest lawyers often bring cases against the government, which classifies or withholds evidence.

So unbelievably scary. What the NYSC did is a threat to free speech rights, access to courts rights, and access to counsel.

If they can deprive a US President of right to counsel, what does that say to the rest of us.

I’m a practicing lawyer and I continue to maintain that this is the most disturbing thing to me about the treatment of Trump and his supporters.

I've not yet read the opinion of the court, I'm waiting for my anger to subside. Is their standing that Rudy made false statements before the court? If so, isn't every lawyer who puts forth a losing argument essentially making a false statement, as only one side may be the victor? How many defense attorneys claim their client is innocent while concocting an outlandish narrative that is proven to be false by the prosecution's evidence and decided by judge or jury?

This case is absolutely disheartening.
