Michigan Attorney Reprimanded by Political Opponents

Michigan attorney Geoffrey Fieger has been reprimanded on a 4-3 vote by the State Supreme Court for vulgar remarks about appellate court justices.

The court majority found the comments -- in two 1999 radio broadcasts in which Fieger compared the judges to Nazis and suggested they deserved to be sodomized -- could be punished because of their potential to undermine respect for the legal system.

In an agreement reached before the case was heard by the Supreme Court, the only discipline Fieger faces is a public reprimand, with no interruption to his legal practice. He is, however, expected to appeal the Michigan decision on constitutional grounds to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The problem with this is not his comments, which are questionable at best, but the fact that the four voting to reprimand Fieger were all appointed by the man Fieger faced in a political race for governor.

Chief Justice Clifford Taylor "in his majority opinion, responded that under Weaver's analysis, people in Fieger's position could decide which judges and justices would hear their cases."

Who's Taylor kidding? That jackass-Hitler-Nazi and all the other jackasses on the Supreme Court should have stepped aside from the Fieger case.
