Also, disbarment are almost always reserved for lawyers convicted of a crime, and seemingly never for a lawyer making statements in public. But I can see them disbarring him, as it seems to be merely a kangaroo court hell bent on a witch hunt against anyone brave enough to align themselves with Trump in a liberal state.

What Rudi was looking for was a summary dismissal of the charges based on the spurious argument that because of 1st amendment protections there was no case to answer. The Judges disagreed on that point. He has a case to answer and they believe that the case is sufficiently strong that his license should be temporarily suspended until such time as the full case happens to prevent further damage being done Just like a real court - The judges decided that Rudi has a case to answer and will now move forward with the full proceedings , with testimonies and witnesses etc. where Rudi and his team will be afforded all the time in the world to state their case. No Kangaroo court , no Witch Hunt , just due process like everyone is entitled to , but some seem to think that they are above all of that and that they should be able to act with impunity and without consequence.

And I'll edit my comment then...Seems wrong and against common decency that they could take his livelihood away from him without a fair trial hearing or due process. Sure sounds like they've made themselves prosecutor, judge, jury, and executioner. Forget the local news versus national news, as that's irrelevant. If a lawyer goes on TV and says my client was a subject of police brutality, and it is proven not to be the case... is it not the same thing?

I’m sure the people here, that think what was done to Rudi was fair and just, are highly respected experts on the law regarding the legal subject matter, and you call me crazy but I think Alan knows a little more than ya’ll.
