Ted Cruz hit with 15-page ethics complaint seeking to have him disbarred: NYT
In part:
Citing the suspension of Rudy Giuliani's law license by the state of New York, an activist organization seeks to have Sen. Ted Cruz disbarred over his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
"The complaint against Mr. Cruz, filed by a group called the 65 Project, focuses on baseless assertions by Mr. Cruz about widespread voting fraud in the weeks between Election Day in 2020 and Jan. 6, 2021, as well as his participation in lawsuits protesting the results in Pennsylvania," The New York Times reported Wednesday.
"The 65 Project’s advisers include the Hillary Clinton ally David Brock and Paul Rosenzweig, a conservative and former Republican who worked on the Ken Starr special prosecution team investigating the Clintons. The 65 Project was formed to hold accountable lawyers involved in a series of lawsuits seeking to undermine President Biden’s victory in 2020."
The complaint argued, "just as Mr. Giuliani has been disciplined for his conduct, so should Mr. Cruz."
The complaint also noted a case involving "coup memo" author John Eastman.

Pop the popcorn. It ain't over until it is.
UPDATE: The 65 Project seems to be lawyers seeking sanctions against other lawyers. From The Pittman Firm, P.A. -
One of the most misunderstood literary phrases of all time came from Shakespeare's "Henry VI." Shakespeare's character, Dick the Butcher, was a follower of Jack Cade. Cade was the head of an army of rabble who wanted to overthrow the British government so Cade would become king. Dick said to Jack Cade, "First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." Cade agreed.
At first glance, those words might seem to reflect today's popular sentiment since lawyer bashing seems to be common sport, except when one needs a lawyer. Yet, Shakespeare was actually giving a great compliment to a profession that is the front line defense of democracy and the protector of our individual rights. Cade and Dick knew that only if they killed all the lawyers, they could destroy the law and impose their own will on the people.
Today, there are many Jack Cades. They are the powerful insurance companies, the pharmaceutical industry, big banks, chemical manufacturers, and oil companies, all seeking to manipulate the laws for their own financial and political benefit. Despite their presence, the underdog can win. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Gideon v. Wainwright, the landmark Supreme Court case in which the court affirmed the "noble ideal" that everyone is equal under the law because even an indigent criminal defendant has a right to be represented by a lawyer. That case began with a trial lawyer in Bay County, Florida. His name was Fred Turner.
This is also the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, an order that led to freedom for millions. It was delivered by a trial lawyer. His name was Abraham Lincoln. On a daily basis, they fight for equality and justice and to hold the Jack Cades of today accountable. It is a relentless, uphill battle fighting for the individual's rights, but when one person's rights are protected, everyone benefits. A salute to Shakespeare!
