BlackIce: Sadly, the law banning Mentals from any sort of important job isn't well enforced. Therefore, Jackie is still a "Lawyer".

I think they're waiting to see if he gets disbarred. I'm guessing they figure if/when that happens, he'll be easier to sue successfully.
Just watch. I'll bet anything if that happens, they'll descend on him like a pack of ravenous wolves! :D
Oh, I just listened to a podcast of him over on Destructoid. Seems Jack's been a busy little beaver today. The host tried to get him to stay on topic, but Jack kept accusing him of cutting him off until he finally got tired of it and left. As always, trying to dominate the discourse and forcing his own brand of morality and warped truth on everyone. I love how he thinks that if the industry and its "apologists" don't listen to him, then the government will step in and that video games really will be banned, which is complete and utter hogwash. While the government has been known to take a "one size fits all" mentality, I seriously doubt they would take that approach to games. There's that pesky little First Amendment he keeps conveniently ignoring as he continues to equate games with tobacco, alcohol and regular porn (which he also has skewed view of).
He says he won't be happy when they come to him and cry "Why didn't we listen to you?" But past words and deeds say otherwise. I just know there's a part of him that would just love to be the one to save us from ourselves.
He also briefly mentioned how he considers games to be a "waste of time." To which I say, "So says you." They said the same thing about comic books too, yet he doesn't bash them, and many people consider reading comic books today to be one of many good reading choices. Proof positive that Jack's a useless old fart.
