Ouch. Sullivan & Cromwell, over 900 attorneys, has a face full of egg. Letter of apology, hearing today w/ judge re: fake cases (hallucinated #citations).
Are #attorneys so concerned w/ speed that they forget their duty to the #court? Yes.

More good news: Several states oppose the proposed DOJ rule, including CA, IL, ME, NY, and PA. Here's the position of the #Maine Supreme Court.

For instance, ​an attorney #ethics panel in Washington recommended last year that #JeffreyClark, a senior #DOJ official during Trump's first term ​as president, be #disbarred for conduct involving dishonesty.

Clark sought to enlist the DOJ in Trump's failed attempts to overturn his #2020election loss based on false claims of widespread voter fraud. A DC appeals court has yet to make the ​final determination on #disbarment.
