The only way the South Carolina BAR can restore any honor to its organization is to get rid of Jean Toal. ALL members of the BAR are only there because she permits it – at her whim. Check the rules. For the BAR to make such an advertisement, Toal had to approve it – and she probably promoted it. She’s Sheheen all the way.

If I was a Republican lawyer I would be thinking; “what the F? Does my party think I should not take cases with which I don’t agree? Do my party no longer believe that every person is entitled to a lawyer?”

And I might be looking for a new party.

JD if you’re a R man your orders come from the top 1%, welcome to the show. Nikki’s answer is no, unless R is the answer, then yes. Forget anything you learned about justice or the constitution, learn how to lie, go R, you’re a shoe in, say 2020. Good luck!

Of 31 Republican governors, 12 are lawyers. Susana Martinez (NM) is a former district attorney. Tom Corbett (PA) is a former assistant US Attorney and state attorney general. Brian Sandoval (NV) is a former U.S. District Court Judge and state attorney general. Of all people, they should know a little bit about the criminal justice system.

Under our system of justice, unless a judge orders an attorney to represent someone, it is the legal right of any attorney to reject any potential client so long as the rejection is not based on race, creed, color, sex, national origin, or perhaps sexual orientation.

If an attorney refuses to represent men who have been accused of domestic violence or assaulting children, fear not. There is no shortage of well-qualified attorneys willing to represent such clients in exchange for money.

The oath that I swore to in our state supreme court says: I will assist the defenseless or oppressed by ensuring that justice is available to all citizens…Nothing in there about race, creed or other considerations. Some of the defendants I’ve represented were charged with heinous offenses – and were innocent. The only thing worse than representing someone I know is guilty, is representing someone I know is innocent.

You are right, a super plan for a governor who sold SC for herself. Brilliant moves made by her, will ensure we are 20 years behind Ga. Our future is even brighter with a new Savanna port. Hope you have many children/relatives that live here. That’s a GRAND-SLAM-TANGO. Her lawyers and handlers have made this state # 1. Hooray for Nikki !!!!!!

Nikki Haley and Jean Toal are virtually twins separated at birth. They are both addicted to power, they lie as they please, they viciously attack and punish their critics and they love back room deals in order to build their power bases. They love doing political favors for people so they have to pay them back. Psychopaths, both, who have made it work for them.

Go ahead and report them. It gives Queen Jean a laugh or two when she reads the reports against the judges when they come in. For her enemies, she gets to twist the screws a little tighter. For her friends an subjects, she just laughs. Judicial and Attorney discipline is all at her discretion.

So, let me get this right…Vincent should tell these people who claim they are innocent that they are guilty and should not have a chance to be defended. Wrong on so many levels. This little game will backfire on Haley. One and done.

Vincent Sheheen is a good lawyer. When representing clients accused with a criminal offense, he has provided effective assistance of counsel. This is the duty of a lawyer under our system of justice. As a retired lawyer and as a lifelong Republican, these recent ads attacking the candidate for representing “criminals” is distressing.
