Well, I'm off to do my job. I wonder what that's going to look like a year from now.
Iirc you are a lawyer?
It won’t be pretty if you do criminal law, unless you represent trumpsuckers.
Civil law probably won’t get you in trouble because neither Trump nor his idiot brigade understand it.
Yep, I'm an attorney. I do family law and some civil litigation.
My field would primarily be affected by the loss of 14th Amendment rights e.g. equal protection, civil rights, etc. There are also serious 2AM issues as well. I do a lot of domestic violence cases. Here in California, the Domestic Violence Prevention Act (DVPA) forbids the possession of all firearms and even body armor by the restrained party until X period of time. They have to turn in all firearms to the police or a registered firearms dealer. My brief trial setting conference this morning involves a Sovereign Citizen on the other side. Good god, what an idiot, but an idiot with unregistered and altered firearms. It's a scary case.
Also, same sex divorces would become an issue again. For example, will the spousal support rules change for them if the 14th AM is shitcanned and/or if SCOTUS decides it's no longer legal? With total reign/no opposition can they make the rules retroactive to delegitimize same sex marriage? My guess is that they will. The implications of that will be far ranging. In that case, the 10th Amendment would be turned upside down because very generally, states can make whatever laws they want as long as those laws are compliant with the federal constitution. Key to that in my line of work is that SCOTUS turned all family law matters over to the states back in the late 60s or early 70s (I don't recall exactly, but it's not relevant). Thus, the federal system would become more deeply involved in family law matters.
What that would look like is anybody's guess, but it's reasonable to speculate that it's potentially catastrophic for tens of millions of people, particularly the low and no income parties and their children. California has determined that child support is in the child's best interest, but what happens if guideline support is eliminated?
What if the rules about having to pay attorney's fees when there's a significant disparity income and ability to pay is eliminated? Despite the ideal that women can make just as much money as men, the reality is that women often stay home to raise the kids, thereby decimating their earning potential while husband is able to advance his career.
I could go on about this forever and I've gone on enough already. The point is that we're on the verge of disaster in all legal fields.
One more thing. What if employers can no longer be held accountable for their negligence, e.g. workplace injuries?
All fields will be severely impacted.
