re: #249 Teukka

NYSBA’s bylaws state that “no person who advocates the overthrow of the government of the United States, or of any state, territory or possession thereof, or of any political subdivision therein, by force or other illegal means, shall be a member of the Association.” Mr. Giuliani’s words quite clearly were intended to encourage Trump supporters unhappy with the election’s outcome to take matters into their own hands. Their subsequent attack on the Capitol was nothing short of an attempted coup, intended to prevent the peaceful transition of power.

I understand that. NYSBA is a professional organization, not the entity that handles bar admissions or disbarment. The Appellate Division of the NYS Courts ultimately rules on the bar status of Rudy or anyone else who engaged in malfeasance and violated Code of Professional Responsibility or other related laws/rules.
