Rep. Hageman holds Evanston Town Hall
Retired attorney Tim Beppler, who practiced law in Wyoming for nearly 50 years, pointedly asked Hageman about the Rules of Professional Responsibility as attorneys.
“One of those rules says that it is unethical for us to engage in conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice,” Beppler said. “We swore to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law.”
Beppler voiced concerns about recent comments made by Pres. Donald Trump, Musk and members of Congress about “the impeachment of federal judges who have issued rulings restraining the actions of the current administration and attacked law firms because of the clients they represent… “Can we agree that these statements should be condemned as an attempt to intimidate judges and lawyers which undermines our legal system and the rule of law?”
“I have not made those statements,” Hageman said. “The level of lawfare engaged in in this country has so dramatically undermined our legal system.” She said everyone should adhere to the rule of law and follow the Constitution.
“I’ll take that as an answer of ‘no,’” Beppler replied.
