- Legal expert Steven Lubet commends the Georgia Supreme Court's unanimous decision to disbar William McCall Calhoun Jr., a MAGA lawyer who participated in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, citing it as a rare example of "meaningful consequences" for law-breaking in the MAGA movement.
- Calhoun was convicted of four misdemeanors and one felony charge in 2021, sentenced to 18 months in prison, and had his law license suspended, despite Donald Trump's later pardon, with the state Supreme Court ruling that "pardon does not prevent disbarment for the underlying activity that formed the basis of the crime."
- The Republican-led state Supreme Court's ruling, which denied Calhoun's petition to overturn his disbarment, is seen as a significant move towards holding insurrectionists accountable, with Lubet noting that "insurrectionists will not be practicing law in Georgia any time soon," according to an article in The Hill.
