Finally—cutting political meddling out of a legal foundation. Let lawyers do law, not lobby.

No political activity? Great, but don’t be fooled—lawyers running their own show still means power plays in the shadows.

No dividends, no loans, no political games—this bill keeps government handouts and corruption at bay.

Less government fluff, more self-regulated professionalism. About time the Bar cleaned house on its own terms.

Not flashy, but streamlining governance and clarifying restrictions probably won’t hurt anyone… unless you love bureaucracy.

Seems like a tidy housekeeping bill for the Federal Bar Association—clean up the rules, limit politics, and move on.

If it keeps the lawyers out of politics while keeping their foundation solvent, it’s a win-win for a change.

Shuffling bylaws and trimming subsections won’t fix systemic legal elitism; it’s like rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship.
