Ouch.
Can we challenge a few Supreme Court Injustices for the same reason of practicing politics without a license?
Judicial Watch does more to strengthen this nation than any elected official save President Trump!
Ditto.
I can’t take judicial watch seriously, with all the errors and oversights in its submission. The United States Supreme Court governs admissions to the Supreme Court Bar and who can practice before the Court — and not the Supreme Court of the State of Rhode Island. The primarily requirement for admission to practice before the SCOTUS is as follows:
“To qualify for admission to the Bar of this Court, an applicant must have been admitted to practice in the highest court of a State, Commonwealth, Territory or possession, or the District of Columbia for a period of at least three years immediately before the date of application; must not have been the subject of any adverse disciplinary action pronounced or in effect during that 3-year period; and must appear to the Court to be of good moral and professional character.”
Although an applicant has to be admitted in good standing to the highest court of the state where the applicant practices for at least three years immediately before the SCOTUS application date, once admitted to practice before the SCOTUS, the applicant has no obligation to remain active in the states where admitted to practice law. Indeed, I know several attorneys who practice exclusively within the federal court system and no longer maintain a membership in a state bar.
So was whitehorse admitted to practice before the supreme court? If not, your argument on his behalf fails.

Is Senator Whitehouse admitted to practice before the SCOTUS? If he is not admitted to the SCOTUS Bar, this complaint seems pretty damn valid.
I don’t think this is well taken, as the brief was filed in the US Supreme Court, not the Rhode Island Supreme Court, and there is a Supreme Court case called, I think, Steele v. Florida, where the Florida bar could not punish a Florida resident who was not a member of the Florida bar for providing patent law services for applicants at the US Patent and Trademark Office.
I despise Whitehouse as much as anyone on here; however, this is not a winning issue for us.
BTW,Whitehouse is a complete political piece of sh*t. I watched his asinine antics during the Kavanaugh hearings because I was in the hospital so I pretty much saw the whole spectacle that also had Booger from NJ and Ms. Mattress and Feinstein from Cali. Feinstein looked and sounded like something form a sci-fi movie. Durbin was a complete dick.
Yep, I agree. Saw most of too and all the Rats were jerks.
I am assuming that he is admitted to practice before the SCOTUS, otherwise Judicial Watch would would have raised the issue as additional grounds for sanctions.
See Post No. 14. Also, if Whitehouse is not admitted to practice before the SCOTUS, then JW should have complained to the SCOTUS, rather than the State of Rhode Island, which has no real authority to sanction Whitehouse for violating rules of the SCOTUS.
JW does the best legal work in the Country.
Judicial watch may have assumed since he isnt a member of the DC bar that he isnt admitted to the USSC.
The DC bar and SCOTUS are unrelated in that an attorney does not have to be admitted to the DC bar to be admitted to the SCOTUS bar. For example, I am admitted to the SCOTUS bar, but not the DC bar. If JW made this erroneous assumption, then like I said in my original post, I can’t take JW seriously.
You are correct.
But if he isnt admitted to the USSC he probably shouldnt be filing briefs as an attorney if he is not active.
Go get that sick SOB. He’s Rhode Island’s clone to the other psycho, Sen. Blumenthal (D-Ct) whose ass I didn’t see in Nam (because he was NEVER there despite his lies, which should have automatically disqualified him for public office. However, Connecticut is such a corrupt, Marxist state, anything goes there if you are a Democrat or Red.
