Florida Bar rejects ethics complaint against top DHS lawyer over 'worst' judges posts
The Florida Bar has dismissed an ethics complaint filed against a senior Department of Homeland Security attorney who had publicly posted about judges described as the 'worst.' The bar found no grounds for professional discipline.
Why this matters: A government lawyer publicly targeting judges and facing no professional consequence is worth watching. Bar associations are one of the few mechanisms that can hold attorneys accountable when their conduct crosses a line. When that mechanism declines to act, it tells you something about where the line now sits. Lawyers who work for agencies with enormous power over people's lives should face real scrutiny when they attack the independence of the courts those people rely on.
