Lol... I hope that Jon Stewart kill this guy =p

(I hoped like 10 days ago that Jon Stewart talked about Spitzer, and two days ago I saw a re-run of Daily Show... and it come true)

You never see them in the same room, Rocker... Jon Stewart IS Jack Thompson. It's all a satire.

Yeah, what are the odds that two people on the internet would have the same name or moniker? It's almost...impossible.

What I wish is that the media outlets that put Thompson on, would pay attention to this stuff.

He is a crackpot, he is barely even a lawyer anymore. He has about as much credibility as a snake water salesmen at this point. I have in fact in the past written to various media outlets after he has made an appearance there but none of my pleas were ever answered.

They sent him an STFU, and he filed 2 more things. One more and he is going to be charged with contempt.

This made me extremely happy.
We have a guy in our group. The 'bitch', as you might put it. One time, for fun, every time he talked, we told him to shut up. I just got an image of Jack Thompson in the Florida Supreme Court.
"Now, if you'll"
"SHUT UP."
"But I wanted to"
"SHUT UP!"

"WHY WON'T YOU SHUT UP!"

I'm sure that eventually, when Jack is not longer a lawyer, that we'll get news about his blog rants, or newspaper opinion letters or however he'll seek attention. Is we simply looking for someone to scapegoat? Jack Thompson is too easy.

The guy's a hack, and we're better off moving on.

Its funny how the guy just DOESN'T GET IT. Its beyond me how people like this simply don't understand that they are losing all credibility when they whine and moan to the point where no one wants to listen to them.

I wouldn't be surprised if he did end up getting charged with contempt over this. I don't want to say that he is stupid because that would be very presumptuous of me and secondly he did SOMEHOW manage to pass law school. So instead I will settle on the word retarded...yes. I said it.

I have a feeling the guy has Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). In his screwed up little brain, he is the center of the universe. He is infallible. He is always right so everyone else is wrong.

That, or he's just a c**t.

haha! Yah i guess it would make sense in their situation too. But I don't hate Sony all too bad. I do own a PS3 (which I just recently bought after my Xbox HD DVD player went down the shitter) and as much as I hate to admit it, it looks like its gonna be Sony's year way more than Microsoft.

So he's not allowed to speak directly to the court - disbarment CONFIRMED. Or at least it might as well be, seeing as in theory a lawyer that can't talk to a court is pretty much useless.

Now, did he know about the ruling before he made those filings? If he did, then it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that he's gone.

You aren't exactly right. The Order states that it is not final until the time for filing a rehearing motion has passed. I haven't checked their rules, but it would generally be 30 days. He wont be held in contempt until after that time.

Anyway, as a lawyer I would pack-up and change careers after such a sanction. The humiliation of it would be hard to get over. Actually, I have never seen someone get such a nasty sanction before - so this is amazing to me.

A century from now, law students are going to look up "contempt of court", and there's going to be a big fat picture of JT right by the entry, with the caption "pretty much everything this guy has ever filed".

Great new movie concept "My Cousin Jack"

Judge: The next words out of your mouth better be "guilty" or "not guilty." I don't want to hear commentary, argument, or opinion. If I hear anything other than "guilty" or "not guilty", you'll be in contempt. I don't even want to hear you clear your throat. Now, how do your clients plead?

Thompson: I think I get the point.

Judge: No, I don't think you do. You're now in contempt of court. Would you like to go for two counts contempt?

Thompson: Not guilty.

Judge: Thank you. Bail will be set at $200,000.

... The My Cousin Vinny qoutes are really pretty endless but oh so fitting.
