December 6, 2007 -
If Jack Thompson winds up getting disbarred, it won't happen this year.The controversial attorney's trial resumes this morning and is expected to conclude later today. However, in order to make her ruling, Judge Dava Tunis will need to study the lengthy transcript of the proceedings.
Judge Tunis said yesterday that the process of preparing and reviewing the court record will likely delay her decision until the spring of 2008.
In the meantime, Federal District Court Judge Adalberto Jordan has denied yet another motion by Thompson to vacate the Florida Bar's case against him.
UPDATE: This morning, Thompson has filed a new motion to vacate with the federal court.

What makes Thompson think (after repeatedly being denied) that the Florida Bar has any interest in clearing their case against him? Can you imagine if other defendants tried this BS......
Attorney for OJ Simpson: Your honor, I'd like for the court to vacate the case against my client, Mr. Simpson.
Judge: Excuse me?
Attorney for OJ Simpson: This case is based on untrue information, and the defense team believes that the purpose of this case is to infringe upon the religious beliefs of our client.
Judge: I see........denied.
(Moments later)
Attorney for OJ Simpson: Well, I guess that didn't work so well, I gave it my best shot Juice.
OJ Simpson: You know I'm going to shank you, right?
My birthday is January 17th, please Florida, I want a disgraced former attourney for my birthday. :)
I'm kinda glad it's delayed. I'd hate for the family to be upset during the holidays.
Seriously, just think what God'll have to say to Jack Thompson.
I just hope they give Thompson some restrictions like not being able to file other suits during the trial. Dennis, did Judge Tunis had a word on this?
Because if that's the case, I'm sure that Thompson will waste no time violating it and use his "beliefs" as an excuse, thus not helping his case.
We waited for more than 10 years, so I think we can wait a little longer.
very likely, he pays homage and blood oath to Baal or Tiamat, the destroyer. perhaps Viggo the Carpathian.
Good Lord. Can't the man figure out that the Federal Courts aren't going to just make this go away for him? He keeps asking, and the answer keeps being no. What is it that people say about doing the same thing and expecting a different result?
@Pierre-Olivier
After all, Thompson is know for filing 13 answers when you asked for only one.
With at best a third of them being even vaguely relevant to the question.
Lol. He is Viggo!!!! You are like flies to him!!!
That proves that JT is bad at playing poker.
@Gray17
This is the reason of the delay. Finding relevant information in Thompson's paperwork is about as easy as trying to befriend someone by beating the crap out of him.
You could be prosecuted before that, but there was no meaningful *process* codified in the books. So they wrote some up in mid-2005. They were approved, and the process became available one month after JT's shenanigans in AB. The rules of conduct didn't "magically" appear. The process for enforcing them did.
He's grasping at straws, as usual.
Nope. Innocent until proven guilty. Although I'm pretty sure any crap he tried to pull while waiting for a judgment would only make things worse for him...
God, I'm delirious... I'm as delirious as Jack...
He's lost it. He gone completely mad.
There is no Thompson, only Zuul!
"The court MUST now vacate that order."
Ummm... no. In accepting a Florida Bar licence, it is accepted that you MUST abide by their rules. There is the only MUST that applies to this case.
A funny little analogy of flipping the bird in the last paragraph just goes to show how immature and funny he thinks he is. It's strange, the more convinced he is that he is right, the more vitriolic and insulting his language is.
My favourite part however, is the petulance evident in the title of the motion. "Plaintiff's NEW motion...Florida Bar's PATENT FRAUD". It's like a sulky teen, how he can actually file these things and not be embarassed is beyond me. Perhaps Judge Jordan should have replied with a just as petulant one: "Dismissal of Plaintiff's NEW motion on the basis of Plaintiff's PATENT failure to abide by Bar rules, and STUPIDITY in not being able to grasp the fact that he has to pay for his actions."
Is that right? Did I just make sense?
Or Heroes for that matter.
Wrong place for checking on that matter.

Wait, you mean besides the one you already mentioned, he just put in another? Is he going to be filing a new one every time one of them gets denied or something?
Just watch and see.
Yeah they should at least limit his ability to file these things until judgement comes.
Desperation is certainly a scary and sad thing.
That sentence was a bit confusing. We would all LOVE it if Thompson vacated the court.
How could I get confused? Yes, indeed, the word "federal" was my first clue I was reading it wrong.

The same reason he kept trying to weasel out of the psych exam they ordered. He wouldn't be fighting to hard to have it swept under the rug unless things about him were released that he was praying they would never find, such as his online comments to people.
One thing about internet anonymity is you can be a total fuckwad and get away with it. Thompson was a total fuckwad, but never once tried ot hide who he is.
Because he only just now made it up.
Dating Service Member# 176669: Hello, my name is Jack Thompson. I enjoy fine dining, long walks on short piers, insults, denying people their rights, protecting teh children, worshipping Lucifer, and making love under the moonlight.
I wonder how many e-mails he's sent Dennis so far blaming the Omaha mall shooting on video games...
No surprise there. What's his hair brained conspiracy *this* time?
*Cracks whip.*
My apologies, your honor. My whip objects to this fool's foolishness.
With that many foolishes in your post, I was half expecting you to go Ben Kenobi on us with the Who's more foolish one.
@Jack:
Your writing makes my eyes bleed. It's actually painful to read.
I know, it does say filmmaker next to my name, so I'm pretty privy to the situation. A few of my close friends are on strike right now trying to find other work.
Oh, hey, look, Jackie boy filed another motion to try to save his skin. Who didn't see that coming? Raise your hand.....Anyone?
