Can a state Attorney General even do her JOB if her law license is suspended? I suppose that there’s some way to do it – it’s an elected office, in Kathleen Kane’s case – but as a practical matter it seems a bit, well, odd to contemplate. Guess we’re about to find out: “The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has suspended the law license of the Democratic state attorney general Kathleen Kane, who is currently faces eight criminal charges and could see another felony tacked on shortly.”
AG Kane, by the way, refuses to resign and is insisting that she’ll be running for re-election next year. This would be great news, except that the odds of her surviving the Democratic primary at this point are nil. Of course, her antics will still be great for crushing the dreams of the eventual Democratic nominee anyway, so it’s a glass half-full, glass half-empty kind of situation, really.

As a Commonwealth resident, I’d be loving this even more if my tax dollars weren’t being wasted in the process.

I mean, SHE’S BEEN USING HER TWIN SISTER AS A MEDIA DECOY TO DRAW FIRE WHILE SHE SLIPS INTO COURT. This is gus-from-psych-eating-popcorn dot GIF territory here.
Didn’t I see this at least once in each series of the CSI franchise? LOL
I expect this to lead the nightly news shows.
