[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I also think that Clinton[b] ruefully laughed [/b]when, in later describing this travesty of a case to an interviewer, she said that her client even passed a lie detector test which made her doubt the accuracy of such tests for the rest of her career[/quote]

Ruefully laughed? Have you listened to the tape.  No regret at all in her laugh--maybe a tad of embarrassment that she was so diabolical in her defense of a man that she was pretty sure had done a horrible thing.  [/quote]
Exactly.[/quote]

A lawyer is ethically obligated to do what's best for THEIR CLIENT, not society.  Clinton did not have a choice.  If she had thrown the case people would have assailed her for the rest of her career for being unprofessional.[/quote]

She could have declined to take the case. [/quote]

But if every good lawyer does that, we wouldn't have much of a justice system. If you are guilty before you are tried in a court it all falls apart.

Ethics just don't work like that. A lawyer, physician, whoever can't just cherry pick who they want to defend or treat. [/quote]

You're objectively wrong. In general, lawyers and doctors get to choose their clients/patients. Defendants are entitled to competent representation, not the lawyer of their choosing, and not even necessarily a good lawyer. [/quote]

An ER doc can't refuse patients dipshit.[/quote]

That's why I said "in general." Note that I did NOT say "without exception."

Why do you feel the need to call me names? Do you think insults help your argument?[/quote]
