Rudy Giuliani's was suspension from the practice of law by the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York for misconduct is illegal on its face
. The misconduct identified was nine instances of repeatedly asserting as fact information regarding the last election that the court disagreed with, involving three states: Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona.
In a political election context, the U.S. Supreme Court determined in the case of Meyer vs. Grant, that First Amendment speech rights are “at their zenith.” This means that election related speech is the most heavily protected speech by the Constitution. The consequence is the Government will almost never have the legal power to punish speech in an election setting, even if it is wrong, hyperbole, or even if it is a lie. When Democrat Ken Cory ran for Controller of California in 1974, an office he held for 12 years, his campaign slogan was “the man the oil companies feared most.” It was all political hyperbole. The oil companies cared less and were not regulated by the Controller’s office anyway. It was basically a lie. But it was protected speech, whether is was true or not, whether people believed it or not. Cory knew it was a lie but it still got him elected.
Yet the New York Supreme Court said Giuliani was not entitled to the same First Amendment protection regarding the election match-up of Joe Biden and Donald Trump. They found that as a lawyer, Giuliani was held to a higher standard, and needed to have documentary proof on all his assertions of election fraud. In other words, Al Sharpton can say whatever he wants 24/7 about the last election with total impunity, because he is not a lawyer, but Rudy Giuliani can’t speak about the election, and keep his bar license, unless he has documents supporting exactly what he is saying.
But Michael Avennatti still has his license....
go figure.
But I already know the Dems have no moral code . none whatsoever.

Well...guess he should have an opportunity to finally show his evidence in court.
Other than that, what has Joe done for America...not South and Central America.
