Does anyone know why Michelle Obama had her law license revoked in 1993?

She removed it herself actually. World Net Daily already looked into it. But no harm in asking it anyway, a la “Did Glenn Beck Rape and Murder...” and “Bury Obama with Kennedy”.

She wanted to open a whore house and smuggle some 13 year old south american sex slaves into the country.

CLEs are lame. But the conventions organzied around them can be fun—if it’s in a city with a good night life.

Hmmm . . . I didn’t hear that.

The NEW media will cover this - the old media is not worthy of the name “the press.” I’m waiting for the enterprising attorney to sue the networks for making campaign contributions to the Democrats for their coverage!

I didn’t know that. I know Obama was not a practicing lawyer.

It would be my guess too, *except* that Illinois requires 20 hours of CLE plus 4 in ethics per two year period.

I'm a physician/MBA. I'm not involved in patient care but I do keep my medical licenses active *because* it might be difficult to reactivate them if I don't. I need 100 hours of CME per two year period. My point is -- how much trouble can it possibly be for a lawyer to spend less than 15 minutes weekly pursuing continuing education????

There might not be any fire, but there's at least the faint smell of smoke.

"Usually it’s because people don’t want to pay the Bar dues when they are not practicing."

Oh, so they wanted to save a few pennies to help family members in need, was that it? Hmmmm...I bet Obami's bro in the hut could use the cost of one year's bar membership. He could probably start a business with such seed money.

Just a thought.

OMG!!!! I just read one of the articles. This is in the words of Blago:

HARRIS said they could work out a three-way deal with SEIU and the President-elect where SEIU could help the President-elect with ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s appointment of Senate Candidate 1 to the vacant Senate seat, ROD BLAGOJEVICH would obtain a position as the National Director of the Change to Win campaign, and SEIU would get something favorable from the President-elect in the future.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

You wonder after all the time and money (someone else’s?) that went into getting their degrees and passing the bar, why would he end up letting it lapse. Yes, he was going into politics, but keeping it isn’t so hard, is it?

And wouldn’t it be fun to see what she did to lose hers?

I’m sure it had something to do with some racist taking it from her.

Continuing Education only became effective in Illinois a few years ago. For people whose last name begins with “O” or “R”, they would have had to have 20 hours by the end of June 2009.

That is when she had her sex change operation and changed her name from Michael to Michelle, so they had to issue a new license.

I have a law degree and never even bothered taking the bar. If you have other employment opportunities that you prefer and/or which pay better, why keep paying an annual fee to keep a professional license active that your aren’t going to use? Also, depending on what sort of work you *are* doing, you may want specifically *not* to be a licensed attorney, to avoid blurring the line as to whether you might be serving as legal counsel to someone, when actually you were doing some other kind of work for them. The bizarre dictates of “legal ethics” are something many sane people wouldn’t want to have applied to them. You know, like the cases where it would have been illegal for a attorney to let a court know that the person being convicted and sent to prison was innocent, because they knew their own client actually committed the crime — I recall two fairly recent cases of this type, and in both, the state bar association involved said the attorneys did the right thing, even though it meant an innocent person spent decades in prison — the bar association would have prosecuted the attorneys if they had told the court what they knew.

If I ever want to practice law (something I can only imagine doing in retirement, on behalf of gun rights or some other anti-socialist cause), I can sign up for a bar review course, take the bar exam, and become a licensed attorney. I still have the J.D. It’s doubtful Michelle would even have to re-take the bar exam if she wanted to reactivate her license.

Because of her atrocious taste in clothes and ensemble?
