A minor technical issue

Excerpt:
"The media has an incredible double standard when it comes to scandals. Mitt Romney makes a joke and it is a scandal. Barack Obama hires tax cheats for his regime and it is ignored. There is another major scandal brewing with a rising star in the Democrat Party.
Where is the media on this one? Where do you think they would be?
Who is the rising star and what is the scandal?
The rising star is Elizabeth Warren. She is often referred to as the “Godmother” of the occupy movement. She is also a Harvard law professor. That fact alone should disqualify her from ever being involved in politics.
She is running to knock Scott Brown out of the United States Senate. The race could affect who controls the Senate.
So as you might guess, the Obama propaganda media is pulling out all of the stops for Warren.
Now a scandal has arisen that the media is doing its best to ignore or cover up.
The scandal? Is Elizabeth Warren actually a lawyer? Is she practicing without a license?
On Breitbart.com, Michael Patrick Leahy reported that Elizabeth Warren had been using her Harvard faculty office as her mailing address when she served as “Of Counsel” on several briefs to the Supreme Court. He followed up with her admission that she is not licensed in Massachusetts.
William Jacobson, a Cornell law professor who runs the Legal Insurrection blog, wrote extensively about the issue of whether Warren was practicing law without a license in Massachusetts.
Warren’s practice appears to be limited to cases before the United States Supreme Court. If that is the case, it might be a stretch to say she was practicing law in Massachusetts.
However, there is a bigger issue some folks seem to be missing.
In order for a lawyer to practice before the United States Supreme Court, they must be admitted to practice before the highest court of one state. Supreme Court rules specify that if a lawyer has their license suspended in the state they are admitted in, they be immediately disbarred from the Supreme Court.
Here is the real question. Did Elizabeth Warren practice before the Supreme Court of the United States without a license?
She was licensed in both Texas and New Jersey. According to published reports, she resigned from the New Jersey bar on September 11, 2012.
That is extremely odd. Even lawyers who don’t practice keep their licenses. You never know when you are going to need it. Because she resigned, there is no other public information about the status of her law license in New Jersey. If she wanted to be licensed in New Jersey again, she would have to take the bar exam there all over.
Most lawyers would prefer a root canal to taking another bar exam.
The excuse that she gave was keeping up with the continuing legal education requirements were too much.
What a joke.
New Jersey requires 24 hours every two years. She claims that was too much? If that is too much, perhaps being a United States Senator is too much for her as well.
Several reporters have tried to find the status of her law license in Texas and have not been able to find anything to show she has an active license in Texas.
All of this is interesting and the drive-by media in Massachusetts is silent about this. Scott Brown is a lawyer too. If he had these problems, you can bet this would be all over the media.
Why is none of the drive-by media interested in the issue of whether or not Elizabeth Warren practiced in front of the Supreme Court without a license?
The real story here is the depths to which the legacy media, or as I like to call it the Obama propaganda media, has fallen. Whatever passed for objective reporting in this nation is now dead.
Now we only have a partisan press. Perhaps that is not the worst thing in the world. If the free market can work, the liberal media will be a thing of the past. Look at talk radio. Conservatives dominate it. Leftist talkers are few and far between."
