The bill has several ambiguous phrases that could potentially be fatal flaws in the document. One example is that it says that no Lawyer of the United States shall.... Unless this is defined somewhere else, is it clear, most especially in civil matters, who is a 'lawyer of the United States?' Is it opposing counsel? Is it only attorneys representing agencies of the United States Government? Anyway, there are others and the document needs to be rewritten with language and text that will both say what is meant and mean what is said

I would think that when they referenced "a lawyer of the United States" that they only meant federal prosecutors as they are seen, within our justice system, as lawyers of the US. However, I do agree that more terms need to be defined. Perhaps the Senate will do this when they consider S. 186
