Jack Thompson Disbarred

jt Jack Thompson Disbarred industry It’s official: anti-game Florida-based attorney Jack Thompson is an attorney no more in the Sunshine State, after the Supreme Court handed down the final decision on his disbarment case. And this disbarment isn’t for five years, ten years or even twenty years - it’s for life.

I could write about how Jack Thompson filed an emergency motion last week prior to this judgment being handed down, or that Thompson calls this decision retribution, but I’m not going to bother. To be honest, writing a story with his name in the headline is a waste of your time and mine. Here is a taste from a press release Thompson issued today after the jump:

This disbarment is in retaliation, among other things, for Thompson’s Tyndale House book Out of Harm’s Way, published in 2005, which blew the whistle on the Florida Supreme Court’s earlier efforts in the 1990’s to literally pathologize his faith-based and successful activism against the American entertainment industry. The Florida Bar’s insurance carrier was forced to pay Thompson money damages for that earlier assault upon his First Amendment rights, which is the only known payment of damages by any state bar to any lawyer for improper disciplinary efforts. It appears that the State of Florida will be paying Thompson more damages this time around for its illegal, now repeated, use of “discipline” to punish a Christian lawyer for his activism in the public square.
