Rokita admitted his comments violated rules barring lawyers from making public statements with a substantial likelihood of "materially prejudicing" a case, the state's high court said. Rokita claimed vindication in a statement, saying he was not found to have violated state law or anyone's privacy and was not fined. He blamed the disciplinary case on "liberal activists" who "hate the fact that I stand up for liberty."in the debate over abortion access after the U.S. Supreme Court last year overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 case that guaranteed federal abortion rights.
