This will be fun to watch https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2021/01/10/thousands-law-school-alumni-students-push-disbarment-sens-hawley-cruz/

More than 3,000 law school alumni and students have signed a petition calling for the disbarment of Sens. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) over what it says were their “efforts to undermine the peaceful transition of power after a free and fair election.”

Hawley and Cruz led efforts in the U.S. Senate on Wednesday to stop the counting of electoral votes certifying the victory of Democrat Joe Biden over President Trump in the November election.

Critics are accusing the senators of using rhetoric that helped inflame a pro-Trump mob that engaged in acts of insurrection at the U.S. Capitol as the vote-counting was underway. Both have rejected the accusations.

But alumni and students of the law schools that the men attended — Cruz is a graduate of Harvard Law School and Hawley of Yale Law School — and others have signed a petition in recent days urging the Texas, Missouri and Washington bars to “immediately begin disbarment proceedings” against the two senators.

1. Lets hope it goes forward. Does 'standing' count in disbarrment proceedings?? Anyone?

6. No, the Bar committees could/should undertake such action on their own

if/when they learn of appropriate acts by the Members.

5. Actions have consequences...

7. With enough bar complaints, Cruz & Hawley just might lose their law licenses

Sedition should be a disbarment offense.
