GamePolitics is reporting that Jack Thompson’s appeal to reinstate himself as a legally practicing lawyer has failed, as the U.S. Supreme Court has turned it down.
Without comment, the U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear Jack Thompson’s appeal of his lifetime disbarment.
The justices considered Thompson’s argument as well as dozens of other cases during their private conference on Friday. The Court’s rejection of Thompson’s appeal can be found in today’s list of orders. Mention of Thompson’s case is limited to a single line under a long list of cases for which the Court declined to grant Certiorari.
Thompson had been disbarred for life by the Florida Supreme Court, basically for being a loudmouthed, uncontrollable nutcase.

Haha haha haha haha… I was going to cut and paste that a bunch but everyone gets the idea. Sadly, I doubt this will diminish his reputation amongst right leaning idealogues and they’ll continue to use his as an ‘expert’ on videogames.
Only thing Thompson is an expert at is ass-hattery.
