as in Disbarred.
http://kotaku.com/5054772/jack-thompson-disbarred
Is it finally game over for Florida lawyer and violent video game opponent Jack Thompson? Judgment has been entered in the case that started last year and came to a head when Judge Dava Tunis recommended permanent disbarment for the bombastic, showboating law man. The court has approved the report and has ordered that JT is officially disbarred as of 30 days from today.
The Court approves the corrected referee's report and John Bruce Thompson is permanently disbarred, effective thirty days from the date of this order so that respondent can close out his practice and protect the interests of existing clients. If respondent notifies the Court in writing that he is no longer practicing and does not need the thirty days to protect existing clients, this Court will enter an order making the permanent disbarment effective immediately. Respondent shall accept no new business from the date this order is filed. [/auote]

I'm never saddened when an ambulance chaser is disbarred, but can I get a brief 411 on what it's all about?

HE was a litigator, who's main focus in crime was that Video Games where the root of all Evil in this world, and applied suit after suit after suit. Everything from Halo, to hot Coffee, to Even Bully before it had been out, he sued.
Picture him the equivalent of the pants judge, but as a lawyer instead.
