Today has been nothing short of an absolute embarrassment for Obama donor and Attorney Gloria Allred.
First, Allred's much ballyhooed "October Surprise" was revealed to be an absolute dud. Her claim is that Mitt Romney was responsible for the very wealthy ex-wife of Staples founder, Tom Stemberg, not getting even more money in the couple's divorce settlement reached in the early 90s.
Stated differently, Mitt Romney prevented the rich, 1%er Corporate ex-Wife from getting richer. On this alone, Romney should be an OWS folk hero.
Viewed through a political lens, I do not think the working wives of unemployed miners in Ohio will have much sympathy for the petty complaints of a woman who is worth millions, while they toil away just trying to make ends meet.
But, here's the kicker. During the hearing, Allred had the temerity ask the Judge to make an expedited decision because "there is an election coming up." The MA Judge rounded sharply on Allred, scolding her and stating that she, the Judge, would not deny a party due process because of an election. Allred was deflated, and the Judge granted an adjournment.
Clearly, Allred is just playing politics again, as the Obama campaign becomes more and more desperate, but this latest episode again raises important issues about Allred herself. In particular, this question lingers: how does Allred just happen to always have the right clients at the right political time? This is relevant because, if Allred - directly or via third-parties - is actively soliciting these people, then her actions are in clear violation of California Rules of Conduct 1-400.
Paging the California Bar...
Hey Allred! Give me a call. I’ve got some dirt on the bottoms of Romney’s shoes you may want. Bring your checkbook!
An honest judge that follows the rule of law - now that’s a rarity!
Here’s the California State Bar Information. Freep it!!!:

OVERVIEW OF ATTORNEY DISCIPLINE SYSTEM

Protecting California’s consumers is one of the primary missions of The State Bar of California. The mission is principally carried out through the bar’s Attorney Discipline System, which takes complaints against attorneys from citizens and other sources, investigates those complaints and prosecutes attorneys against whom allegations of unethical conduct appear to be justified.

Romney said there was nothing in there to embarrass him and he does not oppose it being made public
Correct, but one party to the case did object. So it stays sealed.
Godluvya for this post...Godluvya.
A delicious smackdown!
Gloria Allred just got hit by the ambulance she was chasing...
This is one highly disturbed woman
Of course all Freepers know that the corporate wife is not the client, but rather the Obama campaign is.... this is the only way he can win an election... only this time it’s Lib Gloria doing his bidding - last time against Jack Ryan it was the Chicago Sun Times who acted as his agent going after divorce sealed testimony...it worked then... it won’t work this time!
How does a California attorney suddenly show up in a Ma. court? Is there not a state license requirment? Obvioulsy not! Hey Obama was a lawyer...he could have petitioned the court himself...OH, I forgot... he surrendered his license !!! So why didn’t Michelle do it??? OH, yea, she had to surrender her license, too !!!
