BERGER AND MOORE'S STATEMENT THREATENED COURT, NC BAR SHOULD REVIEW (Capitol Broadcasting Co. editorial) -- It is one thing to disagree with a judicial ruling, but quite another to accuse judges of acting outside the law. Even more outrageous, lawyers like Senate leader Phil Berger and House Speaker Tim Moore threatened the judges - and the entire judicial branch of government - with retaliation. Specific rules govern the conduct of public officials who are also lawyers and we have no doubt that Berger and Moore are well aware of these prohibitions against using their position to influence judges; making reckless statements concerning the integrity of judges; or threatening, bullying or harassing judges with the intent to intimidate them. The N.C. Bar should review the legislators' conduct.
