1. Two reasons

1) Such a move would never actually disbar O'neill. If the standard for disbarring a lawyer was as low as "dishonesty" there wouldn't be many working lawyers.

2) Move importantly, such a move would merely add fuel to the Republican charge that the Democrat solution to everything is a lawsuit.

[sui generis]

2. O'Neill is being questioned by the state bar /nt

[Darby]

5. Says who?

3. Repubs finally found a trial lawyer they like . . .

[Darby]

4. Rules are Rules..they apply to everyone without exception

If he doesn't have to follow them, why should any other Texas lawyer follow them? Why have any rules at all? Let's just have a big wanton free for all - anything goes, right? Wrong. The Texas legal ethicis standards are taking a serious hit because of this man and something needs to be done to preserve the integrity of the sytem, and people's faith in that system. It is important.
