The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

A decision by a Texas judge to reject an attempt by the Texas State Bar to discipline Sidney Powell for her fraudulent court filings related to election fraud was upheld by a an appeals court in Texas. The appeals court stated the Bar failed to show how she engaged in dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation in the paperwork she filed in multiple courts on behalf of the Trump Administration in 2000.

Of course, this is only the latest illustration of how the judicial system has become dominated by politically influenced corruption. Keep in mind, Powell PLED GUILTY in the Georgia criminal case of these exact behaviors. Is a criminal plea in a court of law not suitable justification to disbar a lawyer? We're not talking about a criminal plea involving actions not directly related to the law such as a DWI. We're talking about crimes directly related to acting as a lawyer and interacting with a judge and a court.

Of course, "the bar" is pretty low for ethical conduct in Texas, which allowed its attorney general to hold office for over six years while under criminal indictment.


WTH
