Jack Thompson Disbarred

Posted by timothy on from the it-burns-it-burns dept.

Sockatume writes "The Florida Supreme Court has approved Judge Dava Tunis' recommendations for the permanent disbarment of John B. "Jack" Thompson, with no leave to reapply and $43,675.35 in disciplinary costs. The ruling is a step up from the enhanced disbarment that had been suggested by the prosecution, which would have forbidden him from reapplying for ten years. Thompson has 30 days to appeal the ruling before the disbarment is permanent. Thompson responds to the ruling."

    Fat chance. Now he'll have his own talk show on Fox

    And if McCain loses, Palin will probably be on right after Jack Thompson. She can have a show on how to defeat witchcraft.

    Ah, so you're the magical person who proved that god doesn't exist? I'm agnostic and I consider religion to be a incredable waste of time, an excuse for a social gathering at best. But logic still applies even if the question is absurd (does the unknowable exist?).
