I certainly don't believe I have a right to gainful employment as a lawyer if I violate the rules of the State Bar.
Regulated positions are different than being a grocer or a Starbucks barista. You don't have any "right" to work in them. And regulators are not a star chamber. Every single time Pat has been suspended, he had the right to a hearing, briefing, counsel, etc., and a right to both administrative and court appeals.
