The article says they can't hold positions or renew their memberships. Does that mean soon no one at the DOJ will be allowed to practice law?

No. It means he's gearing up to remove the bar as the authority that decides who gets to practice law, if not destroy the profession as a whole.

After all, with the judiciary castrated and Trump acting as judge, jury, executioner, and king, who needs lawyers anyway?

(This sounds like hysterical hyperbole, but holy fuck, it actually isn't.)
