Clearly, "this is reminiscent of a black woman's vulnerability to a white man during the days of slavery, reconstruction and Jim Crow, when sex was used as a tool of racial domination." And what agenda might this be...? How about this for her new opener; "She didn't get paid, they didn't do anything, and a DA's race and a criminal conspiracy were in the air..."

I am licensed to practice law in Illinois and I am familiar with how the license process functions in that state. It is an accurate record of a lawyer's license status. The confusion here concerns reference to an order of the Illinois Supreme Court where the court said Munson had voluntarily stopped practicing law in Illinois (which is the order LieStoppers is referring to and which can be reviewed from the link I posted). While it may be accurate that Munson voluntarily stopped practing law in Illinois, that dot equate to or mean Munson voluntarily surrendered his license to practice law in Illinois. He did not. There is a fundamental legal difference between surrendering a license and not actively practicing law in a particular state. For example, I am also licensed in Washington state and Colorado but I practice in Colorado. Nonetheless, I can return to Illinois at any time and practice law in that state.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08568176025554441599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-44106936647281476142007-03-24T14:25:00.000-04:002007-03-24T14:25:00.000-04:00To Greg:Thank you for clarifying Munson's record. ...To Greg:<BR/><BR/>Thank you for clarifying Munson's record.

Sheehan contributed the single most despicable commentary in this tragedy. Months after her so-called tepid backtracking(it was never an apology) she lashed out at the defendants, calling Mrs. Rae Evans "arrogant". Why? Merely because Evans, on 60 minutes, said Nifong had "picked on the wrong families". Sheehan is obstinately and intolerantly devoted to her class war prejudices. That is the definition of bigotry. Sheehan, in her role as a journalist/columnist <BR/>is far more dangerous than the entire gang of 88. She can spread her intolerance and enmity towards the Defendants throughout Durham, NC,and the country whenever she desires.
