We are blessed by your brilliance.

You are confused: it is I who is blessed.

Don't forget to take your medication.

not the first time the miami lawyers have had "issues." Years ago operation court broom" indicted judges and lawyers who were arranging and accepting bribes to give favortism in criminal cases. Ironically, when lawyers who were interviewd acknowledged that they were aware of the situation, the bar came down on them too. Seems lawyers had an AFIRMATIVE obligation to report a judge accepting a bribe when they had actual knowledge. I guess the civil attorneys are at turn for a scandal.

Will Miami-Dade County (not miami city) Mayor Alex Pinelas (D) have to return any donations from these 70 lawyers? Donors are public record.

"Defendants dispute some of the indictments as vague and untimely..."

Notice they don't say that the charges are false.

We need a slight change in our Constitution:

Any lawyer will always be considered guilty until such time as he can prove his or her innocence.

Mayor "Tiny Penis" Penelas himself is probably tied to this.

This SOB is going to pay for increasing the sales tax and tolls in our county.

And He said, "Woe unto you lawyers also! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers." -- Luke 11:46 "Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered." -- Luke 11:52

Excellent post, Alberta's Child! No WONDER the ACLU wants the bible banned from the public discourse!

Only 70? Smells like a cover-up.

Right you are, my perceptive amigo. Typical rat/shyster weasel word parsing!

In a word. Unlikely.

Shame is not a emotion seen in rat politicians or their corrupt shyster financiers.

LOL, is that really the smarmy rat's nickname?

Actual number of these racketeers is about 1,000,000 (the approximate number of lawyer vermin infesting the USA).

Florida Justice is a lot like that in Casablanca:

Rick Blaine: How can you close me up? On what grounds?

Captain Louis Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!

[A croupier hands Renault a pile of money] Croupier: Your winnings, sir.

Captain Louis Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much. [aloud] Everybody out at once!

What's yellow and black and you laugh when you see it? A school bus full of attorneys going off a cliff.

What's yellow and black and you cry when you see it? The same bus but two seats are empty.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Two lawyers had been stranded on a deserted island for several months. The only other thing on the island was a tall coconut tree, which provided their food.

And each day, one of the lawyers climbed to the top of the tree to see if he could see a rescue boat coming.

One day, the lawyer yelled down from the tree, "Wow. I can't believe my eyes. There is a girl out there floating in our direction." The lawyer on the ground was most skeptical and said, "I think you're hallucinating and you should come down right now."

So, the lawyer reluctantly climbed down the tree and told his friend that he had just actually seen a naked blonde woman floating face up... headed toward their island. The other lawyer started to laugh, thinking his friend had surely lost his mind. But within a few minutes, up to their beach floated a naked blonde woman, face up, and totally unconscious.

The two lawyers went over to her and discovered, yes she was alive. One said to the other, "You know, we've been on this island for months now without a woman. It's been a long time. Do you think we should, you know ...
screw her?"

The other lawyer glanced down at the totally naked woman and asked, "Out of what?"

You just caused me to spit my drink on the keyboard. You'll be hearing from my attorney in the morning. See you in court.

P.S. I hope you have a fat wallet.
