In re Roche, 448 U.S. 1312 (decided July 23, 1980): Brennan on First Amendment grounds continued stay of subpoena in disciplinary proceeding against state judge requiring news reporter to identify which source on list of witnesses provided which information even though reporter during deposition had already given all the information in substance and identified all sources as being somewhere on the list; Brennan believed cert would be granted but there is no further record of this case

In re Discipline of Quinn, 567 U.S. 955 (decided July 23, 2012): order suspending Brian S. Quinn from practicing before the Court; Quinn later consented to be stricken from the rolls; Pennsylvania Supreme Court disciplinary decision against him recounts drug convictions and related malpractices; he became advocate for overcoming addiction (and does presentations on the topic for the same CLE outfit I do presentations for)

Keep Waiting for AK to "Come Out" and marry David Hackett Souter, c'mon (Man!) it's a whole J. Edgar Hoover/Clyde Tolson dynamic, I can't be the only one who noticed....(and ever notice how EK, and SS go to pains NOT to look involved?) can't wait for Woodward's "The Sisteren" fiction to come out...
Frank "Justice Kagan, can you move a little closer to Justice Sotomayor??? and French kiss her???"

Once in a while in this dysfunctional profession one sees a tale of redemption.

Hey, Queenie. I worried about you. Thanks for coming back, with just a great comment. I pray the lawyer comes around, and recover from their addiction to supernatural doctrines, from their rent seeking, and from being the stupidest people in the country.

The scumbag Disciplinary Counsel will crush a lawyer for comingling funds, for addiction, for sassing a judge during trial. It will never do anything about filing a claim without merit or to extort. It is an employee of the PA Supreme Court and has granted itself self dealt immunity.

Everyone should know the remedy for self dealt immunities by now. Eugene gets verklempt when one expresses the remedy from formal logic. Formal logic has more certainty than the laws of physics, and is supreme over all rules and all ratified treaties, except to the denier, scumbag lawyer.

Queenie. Good on him!

Great comment in Ebonics, bruh.

This country would have been far better off had Kennedy's mother had a late term abortion. What an unmitigated catastrophe this Ivy indoctrinated weasel turned out to be. All hat in hand, begging for a cost of living increase in salary, he is a disgrace, an idiot.

Rhoid: Excellent and thoughtful analysis, bruh.
