Dewhurst Ad on Cruz

[Mr. Deez]

Horn6721,

You judge a lawyer by his conduct, not who he represents. If he conducts himself with a reverence for the rule of law, he's doing good even if he's representing the evil human being. On the flip side, if he conducts himself with a contempt or disregard for the rule of law, he's doing evil even if he's representing the most worthy and decent clients.

It took balls for Adams to take the Boston massacre case. Nobody wanted it, because the soldiers were hated. (It would be like if Bin Laden had been arrested instead of killed and a lawyer in the US took his case.) Adams took it and gave them an exceptional defense, and he basically beat the rap. Most of the soldiers were acquitted, and the few who weren't got light sentences. In the end people respected Adams more because of his integrity, even if they hated his clients.

 

[Horn6721]

You SHOULD judge a lawyer by his conduct, not who he represents.

Most of us, me included, don't. For instance I think that Gallager9sp) guy who defended Scott Peterson seems like a sleazy person.
I am not sure whether it is because he had peteron for a client or just that he comes off sleazy when he speaks.

Shallow of me? Oh yea

 

[Bevo Incognito]

Dewhurst represents the total sellout sleazeball politician who is so frequently the end product of the immoral chicanery that the process demands.


Our body politic is diseased, folks. Our system is ****** up. Dewhurst is just one example of what our parties are giving us.
