[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You were objectively wrong in saying that the PP was objectively wrong.  And the court appointed lawyer is just like the ER doc, no choice in which client to take.  Your point was just an attempt at deflection. [/quote]

Do you not know what "in general" means? [/quote]
