Did her mother tell her she was 1/32nd Massachusetts lawyer, because she had high cheekbones like all other bar-certified Massachusetts lawyers?
This story is not as old as you may be thinking. There's a new twist.
First, Legal Insurrection noted that Warren was representing clients in Massachusetts without actually being a barred lawyer in Massachusetts.
That story got knocked down, sort of, because people contended that's not a problem. Federal courts make up their own rules about what lawyers can appear before them, and they permit lawyers from whatever state to argue cases that are about federal issues and Constitutional law.
The idea is that state bar laws can't dictate to a federal court who they may entertain when federal law and Constitutional law are in play.
Okay.
But now Legal Insurrection, which just won't give up on skull-f***ing Elizabeth Warren (are those cheekbones hard to maneuver around?), has dug up a case where she seems to be representing a Massachusetts client in a case about Massachusetts state law.
One of Warren's previous defenders -- someone who argued with LI previously about this -- has jumped ship and praised LI for their diligence.
Professor Jacobson has uncovered this morning a case in which Elizabeth Warren entered an appearance in a federal appellate court as a representative of a Massachusetts client in a case that appears to have clearly implicated Massachusetts law. Although this is still a federal appellate court, because weÂ’re dealing with a Massachusetts client and issues of Massachusetts law, this looks really, really bad for Professor Warren. With this bombshell, I would no longer view the case against her as weak.
I want to know more about her work fighting compensation for victims of asbestos.
As reported earlier by Globe reporter Noah Bierman, Travelers hired Warren to represent the insurance company in its fight to gain permanent immunity from asbestos-related lawsuits; in exchange for that immunity, the insurance company said it would establish a $500 million trust for current and future victims of asbestos poisoning. Warren succeeded in that mission, successfully arguing Travelers case before the U.S. Supreme Court. She was paid $212,000 by Travelers from 2008 to 2010.However, after she left the case, a separate court ruled that Travelers did not have to pay out the money and it never has. As one judge saw it, Travelers got “something for nothing.”

Well, maybe also in CA and IL, but there ya go.
She's as big a fake as Choom Boy, and that's really saying something.

Which still fails to address how she could hold herself out an atty in MA without being licensed there. Did she have an office in NJ or TX?

The federal bar can do what it wants. You can't hang out a shingle in a state, practice law in that state, and not get into trouble with that state's bar, no matter if it is on a federal or state matter. Try it and see.

From what I see here in the political sewer that is MA, I think you're being over-optimistic. The state will go for Choom Boy, who continues the proud tradition of Devil Patrick, John F'n Kerry, Bawney Fwank and of course the Great Statesman himself, Ted "Killer" Kennedy. I doubt it will even be close.
Lieawatha, on the other hand, has to contend with a nice moderate Democrat-in-Republican-clothes in Scott Brown. They can vote for him without wavering much from their traditional liberal sickness.

Admissions to the South Carolina Bar are administered by the Supreme Court of the state. Qualifications and procedure prescribed for the admission are given in the South Carolina Appellate Court Rules governing the practice of law.
Rule 402 prescribes that an applicant should be at least twenty-one (21) years of age in order to be admitted to practice of law in South Carolina. An applicant should have a J.D. or LL.B degree from an American Bar Association approved law school. All applicants are required to pass the Bar exam.
The exam consists of essay questions and Multistate Bar Examination. Applicants are also required to clear the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) with a scaled score of at least seventy-seven (77).

A question you might have an answer for, as I don't:
All during the time Lieawatha has been handling cases for big-bucks clients, she has been listing her office at Hah-vud as her law office. This is shown on all the documents produced (so far) in bloggy places.
It strikes me that running a business from space in a tax-exempt institution is of questionable legality. Does that apply to minority/female Democrats, too?

What the story didn't mention is that the 212,000 that Warren was paid by Travelers was actually in beads, whiskey and blankets. She apparently declined the beaver pelts as she already had enough.

Where I live in the Peoples Republic Of Minnesota I am hardly seeing any Obama stickers or yard signs. The place was crawling with them. This time, nary a one. Conservatives in my experience usually don't do the bumper sticker thing because A) We don't live by the typical lefty bumpersticker mentality. And B) We're afraid some liberal douche like a Occupy fuck or some MSNBC CNN Twat are going to vandalize our cars. So don't get disheartened.

It doesnÂ’t cost anywhere near that much to study at HACC, though.
So Price, 45, of Newport, is facing federal student loan fraud and mail fraud charges.
A U.S. Middle District Court indictment alleges that Price spent much of the loan money on crack cocaine, cars, motorcycles, jewelry, tattoos and video games.
He said that if convicted Price could receive up to 20 years in prison and $250,000 in fines.

I briefly saw the debate between Fauxahontas and Brown.
If you mated Warren with Reid would their children be rabbits? She is rabbity like him with the same measured, soft-kitty voice. Not sure if she is as constipated in the way she walks, but they do seem like twins separated at birth.
I'll say one thing for most of the GOP, they have better genetics (example: Waxman and/or Weiner. Or DWS. Multiple choice). He may be a MA Republican (which is similar to a Dem), but he is a good-looking man.

I understand the feeling, Naes (Sean?). I'm feeling pretty gloomy today, too. But whether we win or lose, we still have to fight with all our hearts and souls -- and what's more, with our brains. If we do lose the Republic, we'll just have to make up our minds to get it back, is all.
Think of it this way: Suppose Obagman and his merry band of socialists and crooks does take the trifecta (WH, Senate, House). What then? Whatever they put in place won't be sustainable. Do you suppose for one second that our enemies won't swoop in to attack, seeing how weak and confused our response will be? (As proved by current events in Libya.) As terrible as that will be -- many millions of innocent people will die, including many of us posting on this very thread -- the American people will demand an effective war leader. At which point, either they will throw Obagman out at the ballot box, or if that is no longer possible, then in some kind of coup.
I reiterate, this will be terrible beyond description. But Obagman and his crew cannot prevail forever. The Soviet Union fell -- so will they.
Make sure you vote. Give what you can to your candidates' campaigns. If you are convinced that we will lose, then make up your mind to lose gallantly and go down fighting.

Secondly, what's wrong with Italy is the same thing that's wrong with the rest of Europe: birthrate below replacement, no jobs, socialist economy teetering on the brink of collapse, worthless currency.
I'll cry for Italy, too. A beautiful, doomed country full of wonderful, crazy, doomed people. Not to mention ancient, beautiful, doomed art -- I wouldn't bet a wooden nickel on the survival chances of any of the cathedrals, art collections, or even Roman ruins once the Religion of Pieces takes over.

So you're saw 4 Obama/Kaine stickers in DC and the DC suburbs of Northern Virginia? In a area that thrives on Big Government? My, what a surprise. That's like being disheartened because you spotted Obama stickers in Berkeley or Madison.
