Conspiracy theorist1 and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania Philip J. Berg should be suspended from the practice of law in Pennsylvania for a year and a day, according to the hearing committee reviewing Berg’s conduct reported on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court Disciplinary Board’s web site.
Berg’s suspension recommendation is not related to his many conspiracy lawsuits against George Bush and Barack Obama, but to the mishandling of another case (see disciplinary complaint). Berg previously received sanctions in the form of a $10,000 fine and 6 hours of ethics training in a separate case.
One could only hope that all courts and bar associations were equally diligent in policing their members.

1While maintaining that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, he did not subscribe to the "two citizen parent” theory of presidential eligibility, nor does he believe that there is anything awry with Obama’s social-security number.
the obama hit squad strikes again!
</birf>
LOL!
Here’s hoping Ocrazy gets herself suspended too!
Agreed!!! But until that happens, I’m glad to see crazy Berg being taken out of active duty for awhile.
Why a year and a day? Why not just a year?
I realize this is off-topic, but has anyone noticed that WND hasn’t had any new eligibility articles for at least a week? Looks like Sheriff Joe has washed his hands of the matter. Meanwhile, Orly has gone ever further off the deep end – as if that was even possible.

Yes, I noticed. I asked that the other day here. I found one Internet Article that was carried by WND, by J. B. Williams in response to Fred Thompson and anchor babies. It was called Legal Eagles are Wrong. Sooo, I did one calling J B Williams an idiot and a silly goose. But that is all I have seen there for about a week.

Squeeky mentioned that as well. It may be a coincidence, but WND was raked over the coals by conwebwatch.com the other day:

Why a year and a day? Why not just a year?
Under the PA rules, if an attorney is suspended for “more than one year” extra requirements attach before he can be reinstated.
See Standard Guidance to Lawyers who have been Suspended Over One Year
Was Berg an accessory after the fact, to Glenn Beck’s rape and murder of that poor girl?
I read on the ‘Net that Berg’s and Beck’s cars were in the same state, at the time of that girl’s demise.
He never denied it.
Is Berg doing his best Red Hulk impression in that photo?

As hinted at in my ConWebWatch article, WND has not mentioned Mike Zullo’s coding claims since the Aaron Klein interview — and it certainly hasn’t reported that Zullo got the coding stuff all wrong.
Meanwhile, Jerome Corsi is back to trying to discredit Arpaio’s critics in a new WND article, this time the First Amendment Center of Arizona:

Misha – I love that avatar!! Is it one of ‘your’ cats??
So they made his suspension for exactly one day more than a year? Seems like a bit of a dick move.
I don’t want to burst any happy bubbles here, but Phil has not yet been suspended and the headline (sorry Doc) is misleading and inaccurate. All that has happened is the report of the hearing committee has been presented to the board.
“208 DB 2010 07/31/2012
HEARING COMMITTEE REPORT FILED
ONE YEAR AND ONE DAY SUSPENSION”
See nolu chan’s posting of Rule 208 (iii) above.
Another tell? Mr. Berg’s status is still listed as “Active”.
“PA Attorney Information
Philip J. Berg
PA Attorney ID: 9867
Current Status: Active
Date of Admission: 11/18/1971”

The article has been updated.
Orly has been publicizing Berg’s difficulty.
“Berg previously received sanctions in the form of a $10,000 fine and 6 hours of ethics training in a separate case.”
I think Orly could use some ethics training too.
“Nurse, Mr. Berg got out of his restraints again.”
Don’t forget, that nogoodnik shonde started the ‘born in Mombasa’ meme.
Yes, that is a portrait of Max. I took the photograph, and edited it in Photoshop.
Here is a series of Max’s portraits:

I think Orly should go back to her West Bank settlement, with her compatriot Lieberman – a former bouncer.
She’s so far past the deep end, that she’s now in Australia. I’m told she bumped into James Mason on the way there.
She’s looking for the tunnel from Mombasa to Honolulu.
This article has been corrected. Berg was a “Deputy”, not “Assistant” Attorney General of Pennsylvania.
