i concur in part. what rudy did cannot be deemed "practicing law". but, he still was a bar member, and his shitshow paints all lawyers in a bad light. that's why he was told to sit down and shut up.
In other words, he was not betraying a client, and there was no cause to disbar him. Bust the damn bar already. I don't like the idiots they send to represent us in court, whether we're poor or middle class and get assigned a public defender, or we're extremely wealthy and can afford a private defense attorney without going bankrupt.
