Don't hate, just want to follow the constitution and the dems don't care if we do.

What do dems have anything to do with it?
You should look up the composition of the Court, and then look at the compositions of the Virginia General Assembly for the years those judges were put into office.
Are you saying this lawyers disbarment was unconstitutional? If so, please explain

..."The Circuit Court of Prince William County announced Moseley’s disbarment Tuesday evening. According to the disbarment order, the court found Moseley violated six of the Virginia State Bar’s Rules of Professional Conduct, including rules related to the safekeeping of client’s property and/or funds, accounting procedures and obstructing an investigation into his conduct.
The order is the latest escalation of legal troubles for Moseley, who was held in contempt of court in December in the Eastern District of Virginia for refusing to show up in person to a court hearing. U.S. District Judge Anthony J. Trenga ordered him to pay more than $10,000 to an attorney and painting company who had won a judgment against him. Trenga also suspended Moseley’s license to practice law in the district after Moseley filed a frivolous class action lawsuit against Trenga and the other attorney.
That suspension was itself suspended pending an appeal to the 4th Circuit, which was denied. Last week, the Circuit Court of Prince William County raised the suspension to disbarment from practicing law in Virginia.
In his status update today, Moseley calls the lawyer attempting to just get him to pay the money he owes an "abusive, domestic terrorist" and then suggests maybe it's the federal government trying to come after him for representing January 6 clients. pic.twitter.com/QbAbU72Gnr

On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta ordered Moseley and his client Kelly Meggs to appear for a status hearing before him Thursday morning. At issue is Moseley’s ability to continue representing Meggs, an alleged Oath Keepers leader now facing charges of seditious conspiracy in connection with the Capitol riot. The federal court bar in D.C. requires attorneys to be members in good standing either with the D.C. Bar or the “highest court of any state in which you maintain your principal law office.” Moseley is not a member of the D.C. Bar.
Moseley’s disbarment will likely affect more than just Meggs’ case. As of March, he represents another criminal defendant, Cynthia Ballenger, in her Capitol riot case. He is also representing Meggs, the Oath Keepers organization and Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes in civil cases related to the riot."
