Rachel Hunter Fired: I Wonder If The "Progressive" Blogosphere Is Happy?

In the wake of the North Carolina State Bar's bogus "reprimand", Rachel Hunter was fired today.

Remember when the N&O's article said, "The reprimand has no other punitive aspects other than being a permanent part of her record" ?

I suppose paying Court (these days I am loathe to capitalize the word) costs is not punitive. Getting fired is not punitive.

North Carolina "journalists". Sneer. Spit. They never get the story right.

In these parts they don't even pretend to try.

Rachel actually predicted this would happen . . . it apparently has a lot to do with "the firm's" biggest client. She's a great employee, but it's all about the Bar's reprimand. "The firm" did not even wait for her to appeal a disciplinary action that has not even been entered on the record yet.

Of course, they can do this because North Carolina is a "right-to-work" state.

So as it turns out, the Bar did not have to strip Rachel of her law license in order to destroy her career.

Here is what is really burning my butt. I don't care if you like Rachel or you hate her. I don't care if you agree with her or despise every bit of rhetoric she (or her husband, Connie) uttered during her judicial campaign. This is fricking America. This case . . . this unashamed, blatant harassment by the N.C. State Bar is all and only about Free Speech . . . the Free Speech of a Judicial candidate no less. And make no mistake, the North Carolina State Bar wants to shut Rachel up. They want her to "just go away".

I am going to whip out my crystal ball again:

Rachel will appeal the Bar's ruling to the N.C. Court of Appeals. The stakes are high here for the powers-that-be, and she will lose. She will also likely lose an appeal to the N.C. Supreme Court - because no one in Raleigh has the brains-God-gave-a-pig to know when they've gone way too far.

Then it's on to the U.S. Supreme Court.

I also predict a civil suit - most likely in Federal Court and on First Amendment grounds . . . against the N.C. State Bar, "the Firm", their big client with the "high standards", and the as-yet-unidentified N.C. Court jester behind all of this.

I wonder if the oh-so-progressive blogosphere is happy? Will they dance with glee if she has to declare bankruptcy or loses her house?

I wonder if the people who called her "bat-shit" crazy . . . the same ones who called me a "whack-job" and/or told me to move on/get over it . . . are proud of themselves?

Rachel told me I would never get justice in this state. Now we're going to see if she will.

Okay. I'm back on break now. Look out when I come back.
