Deifying lawyers who are being paid to express an opinion is absurd. They are professional advocates whose job is to advance a client's interests, not impartial truth-seekers. They would readily defend Michael Proctor for the right sum of money. What is truly astonishing is the intellectual inconsistency. People who once erupted in outrage over certain conduct now excuse, defend, or completely ignore the very same behavior when it benefits their preferred side. Principles miraculously disappear the moment they become inconvenient. Stop being a braindead follower, and awake your independent critical thought.
