... after we slyly condemned those challenging government (not right) (5,7)

I believe the answer is:
lefty lawyers
Here is my best explanation:
'those challenging government not right' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'after we slyly condemned' is the wordplay.
'condemned' is an anagram indicator.
'after'+'we'+'slyly'='afterweslyly'
'afterweslyly' anagrammed gives 'LEFTY LAWYERS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
