Some of us who were born in the first half of the last century of the previous millennium may remember reading of “the Regiment in ‘ollow square”  as the Rogues’ March was played and the soon-to-be dishonorably discharged were marched in to be degraded. And which of us can forget José Ferrer’s impassioned cries in the 1958 film classic “I Accuse!”, as “France degrades an innocent man!”?

Well, today Tax Court’s Committee on Admissions, Ethics, and Discipline suspends or disbars nine attorneys, all of them on reciprocals from Federal or State Courts.

And only one of them, a many-times-decreed vexatious litigant, proclaims his innocence, and it falls flat.

So there but for the grace of you-know-Whom go any of us. And may none of my readers ever hear the Rogues’ March played for them or any of their colleagues.

If you’re interested, here the link to these sad tales.
