First off, the biggest ass-kissing media refers to Michelle Obama as a 'distinguished attorney" despite the fact that Michelle Obama has been"inactive" since 1993.

Only if she completes all the continuing education requirements from past years and pay all past state license fees.
There is a 15 year span between 1993 and 2008. The number of continuing education hours to 'catch up' may be 300 hours or more. That is a long time of classroom hours.
An attorney writes me:
as an attorney i am telling you that people can "choose" to not pay their registration fees or take their continuing education of the bar and therefore go on "suspension...or inactive status that goes thru the CAL BAR--the california bar association this ADRC is for discipline reasons...not for those volunteering to stop practicing. it is COURT ORDERED...not "michelle obama ordered" their website was very clear about their function and why they step in.
It is not unusual for women with children to do this and many do reactivate their licenses later. I fail to see why this is even an issue...are we gong to be like Dems and attack, attack... for nonsense? Give me a break.
I doubt she could pass them, unless they are pay to play.
You look at the ARDC entry for Michelle Obama and is says her status is "Voluntarily inactive and not authorized to practice law." If her license was yanked for disciplinary reasons then how would the status be voluntary.
I have no idea how things work in California, but in Illinois the ARDC operates under the authority of the Illinois Supreme Court. In 1993 all suspensions, be they voluntary or involuntary, were covered by Supreme Court Rule 770 and went through them. Change from this voluntary inactive status required an act of the Supreme Court to implement. This act is purely administrative, but is still done under the authority of the court.
Here are the details Link.
my assumption is that when she left SA she wasn’t going to be able to pay for her malpractice insurance if she was going to work for Public Allies
could she have been found “unfit” to practice thru her employment at Sidley Austin thru her performance as an employee ,say,lacking the basics to complete her job task(s)?or some egregious type of behavior where she would have gone thru all the wrong channels to accomplish something?what would be the scenario here?
You can assume what you want.
Maybe, Ape Lincoln is close enough.
Amused. The same kind of reaction I get when I come across one of your posts.
“Amused. The same kind of reaction I get when I come across one of your posts.”
At least you have the good sense to read my posts.
For comic relief alone I assure you. As for Obama, there isn't any lack of ego on his part trying to link himself with Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest presidents this country has produced. Most people would have waited till they actually did something first.
fer shure & Merry Christmas to ya’!!!
We will continue to disagree on Lincoln: You think he was a water-walker; I think he was a despot who was largely responsible for the destruction of the republic envisioned and created by the Founders.
If the Founders envisioned a republic where a crooked drone class could lie, cheat and rabble rouse their way into a rebellion for the idea that human beings are property you might be right.
Anybody who is tempted to disapprove of Lincoln needs to take a hard look at the losers who were his opponents.
“If the Founders envisioned a republic where a crooked drone class could lie, cheat and rabble rouse their way into a rebellion for the idea that human beings are property you might be right.”
(Sigh.) The Founders created a republic in which the individual states were co-equals, retaining much of their powers and rights, giving up only an enumerated few to a federal government whose purpose was to serve the interests of the UNITED states themselves; other than those rights and powers given to the federal government, limited as they were, all other powers, rights and privileges were retained by the states and the People. Lincoln was well known to have disagreed vehemently with that, as he was a very vocal proponent of the idea of a dominant federal government exercising control over subordinate states.
And, oh, by the way: What “crooked, drone class” are you talking about? Hollywood producers?
Of course you do.
It did not work for them...The Republicans did it to themselves with their profligate spending and lack of a backbone. There has never been a president in recent history with lower rating than Pres. Bush-the economy plays a part in this. If the GOP goes down this road, it will only hurt them more in the end.
And, oh, by the way: What “crooked, drone class” are you talking about? Hollywood producers?
You need to read about the dirty tricks the politicians used to gain a secession in Georgia and Tennessee. Evidence that the Democrats have always been the party of political corruption and mendacity.
And I think that drone class is an apt name of a class that got rich on the sweat of human property.
