thoughts? Think they are being sensitive. Got this from an attorney around here.


Group tells members it’s OK to criticize, but don’t dare call Trump conviction 'partisan'​



Recently, the Connecticut Bar Association (CBA) members about a message posted by President Maggie Castinado, President-Elect James T. (Tim) Shearin, and Vice President Emily A. Gianquinto warning them about criticizing the prosecutions of former President Donald Trump. The message from the bar leadership is chilling for those lawyers who view cases like the one in Manhattan as a raw political prosecution. While the letter does not outright state that such criticism will be considered unethical conduct, it states that the criticism has "no place in the public discourse" and calls on members to speak publicly in support of the integrity of these legal proceedings.

The statement begins by warning members that "words matter" but then leaves the ramifications for bar members dangling on how it might matter to them. They simply note that some comments will be viewed as "crossing the line from criticism to dangerous rhetoric."

According to the CBA, it is now considered reckless and unprofessional to make analogies to show trials or to question the integrity of the legal system or the judges in such cases.

The CBA is warning lawyers that such comments can cross the line. The letter assures members that they are free to criticize, but warns that attacking the ethics of a judge or the motivations behind these cases is dangerous and could spark violence.

The concern is not with the plea for lawyers to take care that their comments do not encourage such "aggressive tactics." The problem is the suggestion that lawyers are acting somehow unprofessionally in denouncing what many view as a two-tier system of justice and the politicization of our legal system.



For those lawyers who view such prosecutions as political, they are speaking out in defense of what they believe is the essence of blind justice in America. What is "reckless" to the CBA, is righteous to others. Notably, CBA officials did not write to denounce attacks on figures like Bill Barr, or claims that the Justice Department was rigging justice during the Trump years.
Ironically, the letter only reinforced the view of a legal system that is maintaining a political orthodoxy and agenda. These officials declare that it is now unprofessional or reckless for lawyers to draw historical comparisons to show trials or to question the motives or ethics underlying these cases. They warn lawyers not to "sow distrust in the public for the courts where it does not belong." Yet, many believe that there is an alarming threat to our legal system and that distrust is warranted in light of prosecutions like the one in Manhattan.

The point is that the bar association also has a duty to protect the core rights that define our legal system, particularly the right of free speech. Our legal system has nothing to fear from criticism. Indeed, free speech strengthens our system by exposing divisions and encouraging dialogue. It is orthodoxy and speech intolerance that represent the most serious threats to that system.

You voice has power and when used should be used for good. However, the term good is subjective. It is not the role of an individual or a group to try to silence them by defining for them what they believe to be "right or good." You may not like what someone else has to say, but you will dislike it even more when you are silenced, when you desire to have a say.
An educated guess would say CBA leadership is Jewish. Just sayin!

Obama has a lot of sweet sounding poison. Literally everything he’s suggesting Kamala-Walz will do has been tried for the last 3.5 years. What has it delivered?Inflation
War
Taliban parades
Racial division
Collapsing test scores
100,000 fentanyl deaths a year
Censorship
10+ million illegals
Urban decay
Weaponized government
Poverty
National decline
If you like all that, then go ahead, vote Harris/Walz

Will someone please tell Barack Hussein Obama that we have moved beyond his black pastoral intonations. We know how great a failure he was. His soaring feel good rhetoric is only effective on the useful idiots who fail to recognize the utter delusion and empty emotionalism. The author of bitterness and division is lecturing us. I recall Obama once asserting that Republicans could get to the back of the bus. Folks, Obama is a socialist. Kamala Harris is a Marxist. Tim Walz is a liar and coward. No amount of iambic pentameter rhythmic speaking changes these facts, nor the failures of the Biden-Harris (Obama) administration.

Right-wing posters: The left wants your kids raped and they think it's funny
Democrat governor: JD Vance's daughter should be raped
Leftists: *applauding

Michelle Obama: "We don't get to change the rules so we always win.
"Elections not going your way? Rip down every guardrail to prevent fraud.
Not winning over the electorate?
Replace them with a flood of illegal foreigners.
Supreme Court says your plans are flagrantly unconstitutional?
Pack the Court
.Afraid of the guy you're running against? Invent new crimes to throw him in jail.
Michelle just named the central operating principle of the Democrat Party

“She was a democrat”. It’s like these people have no understanding of how despicable their party is.
They understand. They are elites and above the fray.

This legitimately shocked me!!
I would not like to see RFKjr as AG. He may go after vaccines but he would shove environmentalism down people's throats.

EDIT: Perhaps as the Secretary who oversees the FDA and CDC.

Proofreaders are sadly needed in social media. Licquer? Unless he's talking about Licking Queers.

Cameltoe is not alone. There is a white Senator who claims she is an Indian because of her high cheekbones.
