Much as I like the phrase "skunks in the woodpile of history" --

If a lawyer defends a person accused of a terrible crime such as rape, he or she is doing their job. However if a lawyer either a) advocates rape, or b) advises his clients that legal covenants forbidding rape should not be considered binding if they really want to do it, then you have a very different situation, and yes he should forfeit both post and freedom.
