Thoughts?
I consider state bar requirements violations of the Privileges and Immunities of Citizens Clause of Art. IV, sec. 2 of the U.S. Constitution. Americans have the right to make a living irrespective of their state of residence, and if an attorney moves from Florida to Georgia he should not be prohibited from making a living because the state has its own bar requirement. Throw in the fact that state bar associations, like labor unions, impose compulsory dues that they use to carry out political speech that has not been authorized by the dues payers, a clear violation of the Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Association (SCOTUS hasn’t ruled as such yet, but it appears to be on its way to overturning Abood and making it so), and state bar associations should be declared unconstitutional post haste.
