When will this woman be disbarred? We should start taking bets.
I don't think they disbar lawyers because they terrible at lawyerng.
If professional wrestling has taught me anything, it's that someone has to be the heel.
She's gunning to be his next wife.
Fourth Lady of The United States
If we're going by presidential succession we actually don't have a Fourth Lady because the President Pro Tempore of the Senate is a woman.
(I know what you're saying and it's funny I just wanted to say this)
Fourth hooker
There's nothing wrong with sex workers, don't use it as an insult.
I just read that she considers herself a very devout Christian. She has also been divorced and remarried less than a year later. What a garbage person.
That checks out. Exactly what I'd expect from a devout Christian.
Threatened over and over but doesn't actually do anything. Which is why they keep doing whatever they want.
This is the final final final final warning, once more and I'll warn you for good.
Don't be such a tease, judge. Do it already!
Sending her to jail does nothing other than rile up his base and give him grounds to declare bias. I'm glad the judge has a better grasp on this than you do.
So we just let them continue breaking the law so as to appease fascists? Yeah that's a terrible idea
No, it's the exact opposite. I don't give a shit if she spends a couple of days in jail for being annoying in court. I want to make sure the rulings against trump, the rapist and insurrectionist, are unimpeachable.
It's overreacting to petty shit meant to antagonize that is going to let them get away with breaking the actual laws we all actually care about.
I get it, but there has to be a point where the rule of law isn't held hostage by "riling up the base". People get pissed that there's two justice systems, one for the rich and another for everyone else - so because this rich asshat can throw cannon fodder idiot performative lawyers out to gin up the base, he gets kid gloves?
I get it, but there has to be a point where the rule of law isn’t held hostage by “riling up the base"
100% agreed. That point is far beyond a lawyer being annoying in court, imo.
so because this rich asshat can throw cannon fodder idiot performative lawyers out to gin up the base, he gets kid gloves?
Ignoring this is so the punishment given to him is unimpeachable. If she puts his lawyer in jail, it's easier on appeal to claim bias. It's the whole point of the move, and it would be bad judgement by the judge to jail her...it's like grabbing the little fish and thus letting the big one get away.
She's good looking and now famous, nothing will happen to her other than a spot on television.
Her makeup and outfits are well-applied, but most anyone with a shred of self-respect would chew their arm off if they woke up next to her naked Picasso after a bender.
I volu teer as tribute. (jokes I love my current SO vv much)
I thought the legally blonde sequels were over. Why is this fall from grace trope playing out?
Don’t insult the legally blonde franchise like that.
Maybe it’s a spinoff; Illegally Fake Blonde with a low budget actress.
Or she could be the anti-Elle, who thinks that just because she's pretty she can get away with being a terrible lawyer, and Elle needs to teach her that impeccable style and grooming may be important, but that being a lawyer is about a whole lot more than knowing which shoes go with which purse.
She's not naturally blonde. That's a bottle. Look at those roots.
She’s a perfect cast character in the Faux World franchise.
Tbf legally and naturally are not synonyms.
is it really a threat if there’s no chance it will actually happen?
Oh his underlings can definitely take a fall. He's left a wide swath of them in his wake. I'd be happy if they just disbarred her.
Exactly.
Oh god, this is getting better and better.
Why is that idiot not disbarred?
The wheels are turning on that, but the wheels turn slowly.
But it's not because of this. These are just shenanigans and Kaplan doesn't have patience for shenanigans.
Documents have come to light that she once implied to a former staff member of Trump's golf course that she was representing her in a sexual harassment (what else?) settlement when she was really representing Trump. That's a thing lawyers get disbarred for.
When you hire your lawyers based on the size of their boobs and not based on the size of their brains
I suspect he picks them based on the size of their willingness to represent a work for a client famous for not paying people, who has a substantial amount of his assets supervised by courts because he lost a fraud suit, whose attorneys have a habit of pleading guilty to felonies they committed on his behalf or being disbarred, who seems largely incapable of listening to legal advice, or keeping his mouth shut in the name of self-preservation
I've heard it's not hard to fake being smart
Kaplan ain't buying it.
