If they know who he is and they know he is an illegal alien then why doesn’t someone apprehend and deport the son of a bitch?

They need to send him back to Mexico to practice “law” there. It would serve them right. Maybe Mexico will stop sending them up here to get law degrees. We’ve got more lawyers than we need here already. Let Mexico suffer for their mistake.

why not just skip all this and give him a seat on The California Supreme Court

If the Ninth Circus does the expected, then we could come up with a new slang term. Instead of calling him a Legal Beagle, a phrase I used to hear as a child, we could call him an Illegal Beagle.

Maybe if he practices law long enough he’ll learn to obey it.

His DREAM Act has always been to sneak into America, get a law degree paid for by the taxpayers from some flunky college and then sue the asses off the Americans. He’s almost there.
