So you're only going to take cases in which you think the defendant is guilty, like you are getting at below?
Prosecutors
only prosecute when they think or have evidence that the defendant is guilty.
Sounds like your law business is going to fail miserably, or like you might get fired by your employer for insubordination... Either way, it doesn't sound like you would be a successful lawyer by any measure...
Here is where you and I differ totally. To you money and economics is your #1 goal. To me, money and economics are important but not as important as morals, ethics, principles, and humanity. As such, whether I make money at being a lawyer or not, is not the point. The point is that I can sleep at night and I know that when I die, I will not be going to hell because I helped someone that has to moral reason to not pay for his sins to not pay for his sins. I know lawyers are just doing their job, but when you know your client is guilty and you defend him, you are committing a sin in God's eye. Evidently, that is unimportant to you. It is all about making money right?
See above. I just choose to not be a lawyer, personally...
The former is the job of a lawyer. Their job is to properly represent their clients per laws currently on the books. If they have a moral issue with doing so, then they probably shouldn't be a lawyer, as they probably wouldn't be a successful lawyer that way.
. The key phrase is "represent their clients", which means they decided to take the case because there was a fee given. I have yet to see any lawyer represent a guilty client without a fee being involved. And yet, I have seen many lawyers represent innocent clients and charge no fee. Simply stated, this is selling your soul for money.
As does anybody else... Even you... Do you pay more in taxes than what the law requires you to (per your [or your tax preparer's] understanding of it)? Why or why not?
Perfect example of what should be done is the following"
Warren Buffett pays only what he needs to pay and does take advantage of the tax laws as they are written. Nonetheless and given that he has morals, ethics, principles and humanity (which Trump does now), he gives Billions of dollars in donations to worthy causes. Simply stated, he gives back to the population what he is not paying in taxes. What does Trump do? He sets up a non-profit charity organization and uses it to pay for his own things and does not give one red cent to the poor and the ones that need help. Buffett is someone that does what the law gives him but also gives morally and ethically. Trump, having no morals and ethics, is a taker everywhere he can. And you support a President being a taker and not a giver?
I have. He has done so regarding the abortion issue. He has also done so in the immigration issue (aka 'we have the moral right to defend ourselves and our citizens').
It is so funny that his stand on abortion and immigration is
so tied in to his political survival.
He was once against abortion. in fact, in 1989 he co-sponsored an abortion rights fund raising dinner. In addition, for close to 20 years (and probably more) he has not been anti illegal immigration as all
his companies have been known to hire illegal immigrants and keep them for years. This is
not his beliefs but his policies for re-election and to maintain his base. It is morally reprehensible that he changes his beliefs based on which way is most likely to get him elected. He once not too long ago praised Hillary and he was a Democrat. Now he denigrates Hillary and is a Republican. Wow, he sure can change him mind on a dime depending on what benefits him, can't he?
He did not separate any mothers from any children.
Yes he did and worse, did not
keep track of where the parents and the children were kept so they could reunite after they were let go.
