THE LEGAL INTELLIGENCER: State Attorney General Kathleen Kane was given notice Friday of the Disciplinary Board of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s intention to suspend her law license, sources have told The Legal.

EDITOR: Just as the tide was turning, this! Women (and men) should take to the streets to protest this “recall by indictment.”
Republicans came close to doing it to Bill Clinton, but the Senate stopped them. How many agree with the House of Representatives’ indictment / impeachment now?
Clinton’s impeachment is just considered a silly episode from the past. So will Kane’s indictment in a few years, if she is allowed to remain in office.
“Let ye who is without sin cast the first stone.”
Would this normally be a procedure used on a proven GUILTY individual??
So the partisans on the Supreme Court told the Disciplinary Board to send it their way so they can suspend her. They are swinging for the fence. If the trial turns out to be trumped up like I think it is they would have no grounds to suspend her license. If she is found guilty then they could justifiably suspend her license. Only in Pennsylvania.
