BREAKING: Supreme Court Rejects Kane’s Request

KaneThe Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled today that they will not reinstate Attorney General Kathleen Kane’s law license.

The Court suspended Kane’s license last September but she sought to have it reinstated after her revelations led to the suspension of Justice Michael Eakin.

The full per curiam ruling is included below:

AND NOW, this 5th day of February, 2016, because Petitioner did not seek recusal at the earliest possible time, her objection is waived as a matter of law and cannot form the basis to invalidate a judicial determination. See Goodheart v. Casey, 565 A.2d 757, 763 (Pa. 1989). Petitioner’s claims of bias are untimely and are not properly before this Court for consideration. Petitioner’s Application for Extraordinary Relief is DENIED, on the basis of waiver.

Mr. Justice Eakin did not participate in the consideration or decision of this matter.

Kane is facing both possible removal from the State Senate and impeachment from the State House. Nonetheless, the AG is insisting that she’ll run for re-election this year.

  1. Diano, your use of the word “retard” has been documented and recorded from prior posts. Also, your lengthy dissertation which you no doubt copied from some where on the Internet is also an indication you re trying to protect yourself. However, the most important definition comes from Google and you can’t escape that. “a general term of abuse” I’m going to close this out by simply stating that you are a great one to call names just like a school yard bully but when somebody bigger come along that bully becomes a coward. I’ll tell the parents that your just a person who like to verbally bully but cringes like a child at the thought of a in person verbal confrontation.

    Wilson is suddenly pretending to be so outraged, so I want to see what he thinks I’ve posted. HaHaHa seems to think he’s one of your fake names, but let’s see what he actually comes up with himself.

    You seem fixated on mailing addresses. Postal worker or stalker? You seem more the latter. Do you spend a lot of time hiding in the bushes?

    The more creepy stuff you do, the more you improve my standing as one of the rare posters here using his real name. We’ve already lost “kanesdriver” to taking the fight outside of the site.

    You keep hiding your identity. You must be in huge trouble if it got out. Or, you are really just a total nothing and revealing your ID would prove you have been full of sh*t about your own importance.

    You should get crushed on a level playing field with your real identity. The more you hide; the more you prove that you are just a cockroach.

  3. Sponge Bob Square Retard needs to go find another board to comment on.

    “Retards against the word Retard word” perhaps.

  4. David. Well done in ignoring the several questions I posed. I can see how other posters can be confused with you defense of using the word and would be happy to repost your previous comments if you feel it would help give them piece of mind knowing they accuse you of something that is in fact true.

    How about you explaining to me again how I got your personal info wrong and am confusing people with your last name on Facebook? The candidates you sell to list the address they have paid you at. I wonder how wrong I was? Maybe you can get some of the settlement money to improve your security in the app. I hear the security is a priority in the tech space these days. Also I wonder what their answer will be to the discrepancies found. Paid, donated. These things are so confusing right?

  5. James A. Wilson

    BTW, when have YOU seen me use the word “retard” and in what context?

    Your sudden appearance here and fake outrage don’t make much sense.

    Other posters: please let James A. Wilson answer for himself, as I wish to demonstrate how full of sh*t he is.

    I suspect you are conflating my arguments with the others here with HaHaHa’s repeated taunting of them.

  6. Sponge Bob Square Retard !!!

    I think I’ll just use that one from now on. Thoughts?

  7. David, Congrats on your success. Honestly I hope you add a few more clients. I am surprised to see you reference the word retard now as the “r” word since you used it freely in the past. And of course I know that by displaying my bias against the word that the other commenter with multiple personalities will use and abuse the word. It helps remind other posters that they simply are not worth listening to. I also have said before I have a relative who has been on the sad hate filled end of that word. When you are related to someone as I and tens of thousands of other Pennsylvanians are, you cringe when you see or hear that word. David it’s honestly the reason I was so shocked that in your prior posts you used it the way you did. I thought one of the core values of a democrat was to help and fight for those who could not fight for themselves. To focus on services and assistance to those like that. I mean why say the “r” word now when you had no issue with it before?

    I like when you gloat, it certainly makes things more interesting. Also you going to get any of that knee replacement settlement money thrown your way? Either way make sure to keep good records, you know the FEC and IRS are such sticklers. I hear some of the candidates who “purchased” you voterweb app are facing FEC inquiries based on how you and the campaigns reported the transactions. Someone better get their story straight. Cheers!

  8. Damn!! What dod I have to do to cover up my troll-ness. Every name I pick, I get exposed and OWNED as the retard troll that I am. This sucks …

  9. “What shall I tell them?”

    LOL …. Tell them they don’t exist and that you are just a pathetic RETARD troll.

  10. James A Stupid Idiot Wilson. Troll-Boy Extraordinaire. Pathetic Loser. Repervlican.

    Fixed it.

  11. Haha there’s nothing more to say bout you. Your comments re ridiculous and now everyone has realized it. Feel free to use one of your ther screen name to reply.Dosent matter.

  12. Oh I forgot those official definitions apply to the term mental retardation not the word you used which was; “RETARD” Perhaps you hold also advise Google of your dissertation on the subject as it describes the word you used “RETARD” as the following; a mentally handicapped person (often used as a general term of abuse).Hmmmmm better get them to put the Diano definition in there. Any Date/ Any Time Diano that’s what he parents are telling me.

  13. Diano, no problem I would just explain it that way to these parents. I’m sure they’ll understand your meaning and use of that term. . Better yet bring our new client with you and he can hear how you have the “pulse” of the people. Looks like it could be a big buisness bonanza for you. I’m told they are ready to meet with you at your convince. What shall I tell them?

  14. i lives neer catelyn kain she iz good genral aturney and she gonna win agin in lan slide thom corbit gonna tri beet her it aint gonna work, kain is done good job and gonna win a nuther term,

  15. SpongeBob-

    The words are fairly synonymous and are just variations on the theme of insulting someone’s intelligence. (If you were intelligent, you would realize that, not get so offended, and not invite the “r-word” to get a rise out of you.)

    It sounds like you have either a “special needs” child or close relative. (one more clue to your identity)

    James A. Wilson-

    Mental retardation (MR) has long been the medical term used for what they now term Intellectual disability (ID) or Intellectual Development Disorder (IDD).

    This is a recent change, but …..

    “Because of its specificity and lack of confusion with other conditions, the term “mental retardation” is still sometimes used in professional medical settings around the world, such as formal scientific research and health insurance paperwork” — Wikipedia

    “Intellectual disability” could refer to autism, or a language difficulty or dyslexia. The term “special needs” could mean anything, including physical rather than mental problems. People have tried to replace “handicapped” with “physically challenged”, but we still use “handicapped parking” because it’s a lot clearer and fewer syllables.

    So, I’m not really a fan of taking clear medical (or lay) terminology and making it so politically correct that the words don’t mean anything.

    If a smart kid is stuck in a wheel-chair, you can bring him a Rubik’s cube. If a kid is physically fit, but mentally slow, you can bring him football/baseball and play catch. Saying “special needs” is a completely meaningless catch all.

    Grownups need to start acting like adults and stop feeling “insulted” by legitimate words that they do not prefer. The schoolyard insults thrown around here are stylistic (though rsklaroff does seem a bit unhinged at times).

    If SpongeBob just ignored them, instead of getting so worked up, they wouldn’t be used against them.

    Pathetic-

    I’m having a record year with my business and just signed a new political client today, on the strength and quality of my software (and great customer service). The candidate also likes my PoliticsPA postings. It’s hard to say how much extra business SpongeBob has brought me by making me look so good in comparison to him, but he’s hiding like a big f*cking coward, so I can’t thank him personally.

  16. HaHaHa. Well it’s look like we may have another scholar who also likes to liberally use this slanderous ord. So what about it HA want to meet to hear our opinion on that word is being used falsely and maliciously. Always room for one more. Haven’t gotten any confirmations from your colleagues yet.Hmmmm. Let’s start using. Let’s introduce a new word.
    COWARD.

  17. Please ignore the Retard Word Policelady. So boring … and a RETARD too !!

    Hey retard – would you feel better if we called you a stupid idiot? Because that’s what you are.

  18. Pathetic ( A good word for you) Feel free to join us, I have made no threats in the past nor now. Merely, to have a spirited debate on how this word is used in this blog. I’m sure there are other words that you would never use nor would I. If you truly knew how some of these people are afflicted by this physical and psychological disease I don’t think you would be as free with this term.

  19. As a lifelong Democrat and financial contributor to the party I take great offense to some of the terms used here and there distinct meaning. I have a close friend who’s child falls within the medical and psychological diagnosis of what some use a derogatory “r” word. He has indicated to me after reading these posts that he would like to meet you David Diano and HaHaHa so he can personally discuss your use of this term. He would be happy to travel to your location and even bring other Democratic parents who’s children fall in the same situation. This will give you the opportunity to use this term in their presence. Well David?

  20. davis daino aint never says any one is retarted and he aint never will use bad word like dat
    fake docktar slaroff all ways say retarted when he pick on polatishans he aint like day aint fair,

  21. David, the word idiot and moron are certainly mean spirited words for sure but not that carry the same vitriok as the word retard. That words is used against those with special needs quite often and is a topic dear to me. I have never blasted anyone here including you when mean spirited words are used. I don’t think they have a place in debate and I certainly an cheapened by lowering myself in using them but to be honest the sheer volume of moronic and idiotic postings of someone who feels the need to change names and converse with themselves just needs to be said. So say what you want David but when I hear someone in public say that word they often regret it. I was simply making that point to the many personalities of HaHaHa.

  22. SpongeBob-

    You object to being called a retard, but call someone a moron. No wonder you sound like an idiot.

  23. hey fake chris I is the only chris Martinez I been me all me life so stop postin stuff hear using my name its wrong you cant do it cuz you aint me only me is chris,

  24. Let’s get back on-point here. The CLOWN CAR has been EXPOSED again. This time, they are trying to change the rules again to protect one of their own – Eakin.

    http://www.newsworks.org/index.php/local/off-mic/90817-old-boy-network

    When will they learn? These creeps will stop at nothing to cover-up the fact that they are corrupt, racist, woman-hating bigots. Old boys to the rescue!!! Luckily for the rest of us, they are FINALLY being dragged into the light of day.

  25. It’s not hate speech for the poster here to call you – a random anonymous commenter – a “retard.” Got it, retard?

  26. SpungeRetard is funny. He wants someone to says sumthin’ right to hims face, buts he forgets dat wes doesn’t knows his name. SpungeRetard– wut be’s yours rael name?

  28. Why is it the person on here who posts as 20 people always accuses other of being the same? Hey idiot I am not posting as anyone else. And use the word retard in front of me in public and see how fast you stop talking. For someone so critical of Fina and the pervs you seem to be just fine with your own hate speech. Give it a rest ya moron.

  29. I am also:

    and many others !!! My mommy would be so proud!!! With this screen name, I make fun of minorities who are not able to punch me in the face for doing it!! This gets getting punched in the face — which used to happen to me A LOT!! I am pretty weak. I was (well – am still) a bed-wetter. And I am stupid and obnoxious to boot.

  30. davis daino you is rong abut kain she done good job she gonna winn in lannslid cause she aint done nuthin ill egale,

  31. @ d2:

    You have abandoned your prior assertion that Wolf wouldn’t comply with the senate–aggressively repeatedly asserted–by mind-reading; so does your “fluid” approach to blogging evolve with the wind.

  32. Great points, Ha3.

    Remember the Feudale articles? Remember when Judge Feudale was talking about committing felonies over e-mail? Remember who he was talking to? Remember who was CC’d?

    Think about it. Fina & The Corbett Pervs ILLEGALLY LEAK tons of material through Craig & Angela at the INKY. Then they introduce Feudale, their Grand Jury Judge (with whom they re WAY TOO buddy-buddy) to Craig & Angela when he is thinking of illegally leaking some material.

    And then the idiot CC’s Frank Fina on his illegal leak conversations. Just think about that. You can’t make this stuff up.

    This is very dangerous, folks. The people who are supposed to be impartial – the scribes – are in on this. They have a lot to lose. In fact – Craig & Angela were subpoena’d in the Kane Grand Jury. Someone seems to know that there were illegal leaks. What is being done about them??

  33. Wolf has also called for Eakin to resign. Does the mental patient support Wolf there too?

    Wolf knows he can’t support the end-around on the Constitution the Senate is/was trying to pull. He should also know that, politics aside, Kane has been the victim of a vicious smear campaign that was pulled directly from the “Corrupt Playbook” that was used in the prosecution of the Penn State 3.

    That Playbook involves illegal leaks, trumped- up charges (with “Perjury” as the headliner), and dubious grand jury conduct. The media plays along, gets their clicks, and then ignores the truth.

    The Superior Court just found that Fina’s conduct in the Penn State case was “highly improper.” He is a DA in Philadelphia now. Try to find that reported in Philadelphia “news” outlets. Try to find it reported here.

    They wrote repeated articles about Kane’s sister owing an ex-boyfriend money. But nothing but CRICKETS when the corrupt, racist, woman-hating douche-bag behind the Kane charges is EXPOSED by the Superior Court of Pennsylvania.

  34. rsklaroff-

    Wolf wants to put his own stooge in, not an independently elected AG.

    (and Wolf is backing one of the candidates, who has been pretty dependent on Wolf)

    It’s funny that you would invoke Wolf for this, but be against Wolf on taxing shale and funding education.

  35. It’s not just Eakin – and it’s not just Repervlicans – involved in this cover-up. The “network” of corrupt officials contains Rs and Ds alike. They know that the shock-waves the truth would cause would ruin them. So – they are trying to hide the truth. Keep it quiet. This is not that hard to figure out.

    The FBI and USAO should be involved. This is corruption at the highest levels. Kane may be naive and she may be stupid. But she stumbled into a cauldron of corruption.

    And she is still the only person meting persecuted … I mean prosecuted …. for an illegal leak. Meantime — the folks involved in the porn (hate)-gate scandal are getting away with their crimes. It’s called selective enforcement and it is corrupt. Imagine your son (a minority, lets say) attends a prestigious university and joins a fraternity. Imagine that fraternity has a party where 19 and 20 year olds get served alcohol. Now imagine your son is the only fraternity brother arrested for the crime of distributing alcohol to minors. How would that feel? Is that fair? Would a criminal conviction in those circumstances be the right thing — where all the other fraternity brothers get away with identical conduct?

  36. Ha3 – and it’s not just Ms. Marks:

    The disclosure of Sprague’s new role also prompted criticism Friday.

    Bruce Ledewitz, a law professor at Duquesne University and expert on the state Supreme Court, said he saw a role for mediators in labor disputes or divorces – but not in cases where judges stand accused of wrongdoing.

    He compared the tribunal’s action to a judge in a criminal case asking someone to help broker a deal.”Imagine if a guy is on trial for murder and you bring in a mediator,” Ledewitz said.

    Geoffrey Hazard, a legal-ethics expert and emeritus law professor at the University of Pennsylvania, said the judicial tribunal seemed a little lost. “They must be in deep doo-doo,” he said of the panel. “They’re in complete confusion.”

    Bruce Antkowiak, a professor of law at St. Vincent’s College in Western Pennsylvania, praised Sprague’s legal acumen, but said, “This pretty much is unprecedented.”

    DEEP DOO-DOO INDEED !!!!

  37. This is awesome!! Every time those creeps try something dirty, they get EXPOSED.

    In a flurry of statements to The Inquirer on Sunday, four members of the state high court, including Chief Justice Thomas G. Saylor, said they had no advance knowledge of Sprague’s appointment of the Court of Judical Conduct.

    “I had no knowledge of it whatsoever,” said Justice David N. Wecht, responding to emails the Inquirer sent Sunday to Eakins’s six colleagues.

    Justices Max Baer and Debra McCloskey Todd also said they were unaware of the appointment.

    BTW – Dick Sprague is a good friend of Bill Lamb’s (from the Disciplinary Board – and yes, he was the recipient of Hate-gate emails he says he now doesn’t remember). The CLOWN CAR is running out of gas!!

    I hope the Special Prosecutor has copies of the e-mails in a safe deposit box somewhere. I wouldn’t be surprised if these corrupt perverts were getting search warrants for Mr. Gansler’s offices right now. They will stop at nothing to cover-up their wrongdoing.

  38. Just go home. Pa is so sick of this mess. Go fight It out on your time. If you happen to win come back and run for Governor.

  39. The mediator idea in the Eakin matter is not a good one. It is not only the embattled AG who has spoken out. Lynn A. Marks, executive director of the non-partisan Pennsylvanians for Modern Courts, said Sunday that the quiet selection of Sprague could damage the public’s view of the courts.

    “People need to believe what is going on is an open and transparent process,” she said.

    She is correct. The damage being done to the Court is immeasurable. Sweeping more things under the rug is not going to help.

  40. It is noted that Pat Unger ignores content; AG-Kane doesn’t enjoy comparable luxury…as the hyperlink “hits” keep coming.

  41. The exercise of exposing the mental patient has carried secondary gain as, incrementally, he has self-exposed his TEA-slurping idiocy. AG Kane continues to say to the Clown Car, the trolls, and the racist perverts: PROVE IT AT A TRIAL OR SHUT THE FUCK UP !!
