His disbarment can't come soon enough. It needs to happen yesterday.

Yeah Fox news really cares about credibility:
Bill O'Reiley anyone?
But anyways, disbar the bloke. While they are at it, maybe some real charges should be made and perhaps the tosser will go to jail and experience life as someone's...*cough*
Who knows, rockstar could make a game out of it all.
Don't forget the Sex Box fiasco. Their "video-game expert" wrote a "self-help" book urging teenage girls to partake in swinging and orgies. Who knows if she's ever even played a video game.
rofl... ahh the wonders of the FOX 'expert panel'
the mass effect edition made me rofl with disbelief....the fact such a news agency actually remains allowed to pump such ****e into the world is amazing.

Yeah I am not sure how the regulations work, but it sounds like he can still apply to practice in most other states. Boy I hope my interpretation is incorrect and all 50 states hold up the disbarment.
Technically he could apply to sit for the Bar exam in another state.
In practice the states pretty much follow the American Bar Association's professional conduct rules which makes disbarment in one state enough to disbar you everywhere (or prevent you from applying to the Bar). My dad's an attorney and that is what he tells me anyway and I believe him.
Getting to sit for the Bar exam is not just a matter of paying a fee and having at it. It is a remarkably insane hill you have to climb. Our buddy here would never get an application through.
Good to know that it is not an easy process and chance are at least there for the states to deny entrance to sit for the bar.

Even though it is nice to see Thompson put in his place I have a strong dislike for the BAR. It wields massive amounts of power, but it was never voted for and was never put into place by an elected official or even confirmed by one...
In my novice understanding, they create and administer the bar and lay down sentences against lawyers that have acted beyond or in disregard of the common practices accepted by bar. I do not have a clue how that bar was created. I do not have time to do any reasearch on the history of the bar at this point (long workday starting), but having one is better then having not. Could you let me know what other powers they have and what are your major issues with specific powers the bar yields?

Why would the government get in on it? That'd be a decidedly bad thing.
The Bar Association is a professional organization and its rules are there to police themselves. Tons of professions have their own organizations which both set rules and guidelines for their members as well as represent the group to the government (when laws affecting them are proposed) and the public at large.
Only when those groups utterly fail to set sufficient professional guidelines will the government step in a legislate rules (which usually just the threat of prompts the organization to tighten their own rules to head that off).

Jora'h's on the right track. A lot of high-level professions like lawyers, engineers, and the like police themselves so that the government doesn't have to be a presence in their affairs.
I'm just glad to see it work in this whacko's case \o/.

I understand that many professions have groups to set standards, but in particular I dislike the BAR. It wields an unnatural amount of influence in politics. It usually writes the recommendations for federal judges that the presidents read before making appointments and typically is looked to for a 2nd opinion on the choices the president makes. Also with many members of the senate or congress being lawyers it gives the BAR plenty of influence with them.
