Of course my first instinct is to laugh at the lawyers, but this is a very very dangerous precedent. How long before the same people come after the "rich" doctors? Think it cant happen? Think again.
Lets not forget that there was a proposal in Massachusetts to force all doctors to accept Medicare/Medicaid as a condition of getting a medical license in that state. Its not that much of a step to start requiring that they work for free.
Of course, at first it wont sound bad. They'll only require something trivial like 20 hours a year or something. But thats now. Wait 5 years and you'll see it creep up to 40 hours, 500 hours, 1000 hours, and so on. Once the precedent is set, its very easy to keep pushing it higher and higher.
Of course this ******* judge exempted himself and others from the law -- its only the newbie fresh law grads who are effected. ****ing hypocrite.
