Everyone's favorite psycho lawyer may face fines to even jail time over his reaction to a judge approving Bully. I think we all saw this coming eventually, but it's still hilarious. I give him a couple of years before he's a homeless guy in a park, yelling incoherently to kids about the dangers of electronic entertainment.

(Emphasis in the original.) "Plaintiff has seen arbitrariness from judges before in his thirty years of practicing law, but nothing close to this. If the federal judiciary must restrain this Court and punish it, then so be it."

Threatening legal action against any judges who dare oppose him? Yeah, that'll go over well.

Too bad they won't put him in one of those medieval thingies where you hurl rotten fruit at the prisoners, because I want to throw stuff at him

Fabulous use of a fabulous reference to a fabulous movie based on a fabulous book. Fabulous.

Finally!

I hope he gets his license revoked. He does not have the attitude necessary to be a good lawyer. And you're right, he IS more agressive than most gamers. Maybe he has a copy of GTA San andreas in his house somewhere...(joke)

I don't have audio here at work to see exactly what this is, but it's supposively a funny video relating to this. I think it might be his contempt hearing or something.
