MN Supreme Court Rules Say Bachmann's Right to Practice Law Should Be Suspended

http://www.rippleinstillwater.com/2011/07/mn-supreme-court-rules-say-bachmanns.html


Presidential candidate appears to have registered at state for past three years under old address.


Throughout her political career, Michele Bachmann has rarely passed up an opportunity to burnish her lawyerly credentials by claiming that she’s a “tax litigation attorney.” And for almost as long, Bachmann hasn’t even been authorized to practice law in her home state of Minnesota.

Now, it appears that Bachmann’s license to practice law in Minnesota should not only be unauthorized, but suspended and placed on “not in good standing” status for failure to comply with the “Rules of the Supreme Court on Lawyer Registration.”

Lawyers licensed to practice law in Minnesota are required to register annually with the Lawyer Registration Office in the Minnesota Judicial Branch. They’re also required to pay an annual registration fee that varies depending on the lawyer’s active/inactive status, income level, residence and years in the profession.

The Supreme Court Rules also require that “Every lawyer or judge must immediately notify the Lawyer Registration Office of any change of postal address. Every lawyer or judge who elects to use the online registration system must immediately update their online registration profile to reflect any change of their postal address and email address.”

1. A couple more months of this steady drip and she'll be an asterik
in the history books regarding the media-created Tea Party.

2. If she is suspended, it will be a negligible amount of time, like a few months.

3. Having gone to Oral Roberts U
the idea that Christianity is the basis of our law, that lawyers and judges should follow God's law, and that the failure to do so is evidence of a 'tyrannical,' leftist agenda is ludicrous. This is not a slap to christianity but to those who would interpret them from their own viewpoint instead of standing laws on the books.
