Isn't this just the routine fascist playbook at this point? Start by declaring that the law doesn't even apply to them, on whatever flimsiest of bases.

Personally I would really like to see torts for attorneys who willfully promulgate blatantly incorrect legal interpretations - they're effectively providing incorrect legal advice. A non-attorney is likely to believe such advice coming from a member of the Bar, and the net goal is to discourage the target from seeking further legal advice.

An attorney whom you have not engaged in counsel is not providing legal advice.

I'm well aware of how it's currently legally defined - hence "effectively". My comment is in the context of what ought, not what is.
