the temptation to judge him by what we think of his "clients" will be there not only because that's just normal human nature but also because of  widespread suspicions about the nature of his relations with his clients.

If just lawyerly, no problem, we all understand lawyers need to represent shady characters sometimes. If more of him being their ideological agent or groupie, then we have a problem.

Sen. Reid seem to think it is the latter. He should know, the gentleman been around  Washington DC for quite some time.

should have their rights defended, no?

Judging him by the nature of his relations with his clients is fair I think, if the relationship is a corrupt one, but judging by what we think of his "clients" is not.

Edger, Edger, that's exactly my point,  no need to reiterate, but thanks anyway.

Well, I never know when I might need a good defense lawyer, you know?
