Only 2/3 of DOJ lawyers have quit/been purged?

That number seems remarkably low to me, all things considered.

I guess there aren’t enough MAGA lawyers. They should open MAGA law schools. Constitutional law would not be required.

@Bumbles Down the road, I suppose that could happen. First, though, they need to cripple or get rid of all of the mandatory state bar associations and state laws requiring ethics and professional conduct or there would be no market.

Attacking the ABA and accreditation is sort of a start in that direction, though.

@MistyCee Maybe that can just waive the Constitutional Law requirement. Doesn't seem to help most of the Supreme Court much.

@Bumbles Nah, that's not enough. Historically, it's been pretty much impossible for a lawyer to stay employed by Trump for long and not violate ethical and professional rules.

@MistyCee Good point!
