10 thoughts on “Indiana lawmaker files disciplinary action against state’s attorney general 

  1. At what point do we just get rid of this guy and get someone who hasn’t received a law degree from trump university and a bachelor from university of phoenix online?

    1. Legislators could have just impeached him, as opposed to wasting time with bills asking for the least favorable parts of Illinois to join Indiana.

    2. well, maybe they could have impeached him. Harking back to the Curtis Hill debacle, it’s not clear under Indiana law if the AG can be impeached. The AG is not a “Constitutional” office, but one created by the Legislature. So the Constitution’s impeachment process may not apply. And because he is a separately elected official, he might not be subject to other removal by the legislature. If he loses his license to practice law, then he can’t be the Attorney General. Or he could commit a misdemeanor or felony I believe the legislature can remove him. The crime would also be a the basis for the Indiana Supreme Court to take his license.

      Unlike non-lawyers, lawyers in legislatures and governmental offices like AG have a heightened duty to not lie. It is sanctionable, and can result in a loss of license. Most lawyers elected to office therefore keep a lid on…

      Why this politician? Probably because a substantial number of Republicans are tired of Rokita, and hoped someone would run against him in 2024 primaries. So when he’s lying about them, they’re more likely to file disciplinary complaints, knowing he’s already in trouble with the Supreme Court over his 2023 nose-thumbing of the court…

  2. Rokita, Morales, Beckwith, Banks – how I long for the Indiana GOP of Lugar, Hudnut, Daniels, and most importantly a functional two party system that made government better for all of us.

  3. how do we get rid of this guy? When can we get rid of this guy? Well, Hoosiers just relected him last fall for another four year term. So, we can get rid of him in 2028, or sooner if the Indiana Supreme Court calls his bluff and suspends his license…

  4. No fan of the AG and would just as soon not see him in that position. That being said, this is a pretty thin disc. complaint. ALL politicians (including attorneys) stretch the truth (or not tell the truth) at times. That may be cause to vote them out of office, but should not be the basis of a disc. complaint.

  5. The most truthful statement Rokita has ever made: “the people of this state who are tired of sending representatives to Indianapolis who don’t really represent them.” The General Assembly is dominated by his own party and they adopt laws seeking problems to solve to fit their own agenda rather than acting on the will of the Hoosier people.
