This is not “oh the lawyers are beefing”
This is: you get arrested. Fuck you.

Bar association should schedule a review with each member, then suspend who doesn't show up

The article says they can't hold positions or renew their memberships. Does that mean soon no one at the DOJ will be allowed to practice law?

After all, with the judiciary castrated and Trump acting as judge, jury, executioner, and king, who needs lawyers anyway?
(This sounds like hysterical hyperbole, but holy fuck, it actually isn't.)
